A new version of Wootsi has been published along with an ad-supported lite version. You can grab either of these from the Android Market.
Version 2.0 contains some bug fixes along with independently updating items. Also, you can now view items while the application is updating.

So a new Android SDK came out a couple days ago. I tried opening up a trace file, but traceview complained that the swt version was not 64-bit compatible. I Googled around for a bit and found a semi-convoluted solution that worked for the 1.5 SDK. Here’s my simplified solution for 1.6.
Download and upzip the file below into “/tools/lib/” in your 1.6 SDK folder. That should do it.
SWT Fix (327)I recently pushed an update to my latest Android app, Wootsi.
Wootsi goes out to woot.com and four other woot.com sub-sites to grab their “daily deal”. The app gives users an advantage to those who don’t, because they can receive periodic updates at times they choose. I have my preferences set to update every three hours starting at 7:15 AM.
Another feature is “woot off” detection, which will fetch updates at a faster rate while a woot off is happening.
The first version of the app had some major bugs, but this update fixes them and adds some new features.
Search for Wootsi on your Android phone to find out more.
My colleague at Web Ascender, Jeff McWherter, suggested an idea for an Android application one day. The concept was a caller id service that would retrieve information for unknown numbers when the phone rang. The next day I had a proof of concept and since then I have developed the app into a working version. The application uses the WhitePages API, and was effectively bought by them. Here’s a video.
Update:
Here are reviews and sightings of the app from around the interwebs:
