"Eclipse: Android code is basically coding in Java. Eclipse is an IDE that is most known for its Java friendly environment and is probably among the first tools one needs to download as they start out developing on the Android platform. Google, the creator of the Android platform, have done an excellent job getting the Android SDK to run with Eclipse. The two are almost synonymous to developers. Eclipse gives developers an easy time in getting their code in sync with facilities such as debugging, the DDMS perspective, and a host of other important tools available in the Android SDK kit. On the surface level, Eclipse makes Android development a whole lot better - the object oriented code is easy to write and manage, plus you can get a design view of layout files such as XML based files used in Android code."

"Google's Android mobile operating system's usage of the Linux kernel may violate open source licensing with a misappropriation of Linux code that could bring about the 'collapse of the Android ecosystem,' some intellectual property experts are charging.
"Google is already under fire from Oracle, which has gone to court claiming that Android violates Java patents and copyrights.
"The Linux issue is a separate one and no lawsuits have apparently been filed. But a few intellectual property watchers have written analyses that call into question Android's use of Linux code licensed under GPL version 2."

"If you think that Google has already given up on creating its own smartphones after the not-so-financially-successful Nexus One, think again. Just recently, Google has officially announced the release of Nexus S, the first device to ship with Android 2.3 "Gingerbread". Although Samsung was tasked to manufacture this latest Googlephone, the software is strictly integrated with the hardware and promises to deliver 'pure Google' experience as they say.
"Aside from running the latest and most probably the best version of Android yet, the Nexus S is also equipped with several innovative features. One of which, is its built-in NFC (near field communication) hardware that enables the device to communicate with both existing ISO/IEC 14443 smartcards and readers, as well as with other NFC devices making it compatible with existing wireless infrastructure already in use for public transportation and payment. And since NFC is fast and flexible and can be easily embedded in different kinds of objects, expect to see Android applications that will take advantage of this technology."

Android: Too much of a good thing?
Android is everywhere. Really. It runs phones, tablets, and I recently saw it even works on an iPhone. A few years ago would me to no end excited have. It still, but truthfully, I am now more skeptical. See two years ago, Linux was everywhere on Netbooks. I thought it was beaten up a major break - Linux finally the mainstream.
But vendor customization and "dumbing down" Linux that look like an inconsistent kludge rather than a free and powerful choice made. So far, Android looks across quite constant about hardware. So far, many apps regardless of Android version that supports your device work. Suppliers will hopefully made with Netbooks to see the errors and keep, their "branding" to a minimum. It phone many ways providers and wireless carriers could efforts messed up our world domination. Again.
Dear suppliers, please don't try to sell more phones by adding proprietary software up on Android. Adding software you contribute it back to the community. If you want to sell more phones, make better phones than your competition. (Please!)

"If you are coming to mobile app development for the first time then the path ahead of you can look very daunting. There?s already hundreds of thousands of apps out there covering just about every feature and bit of functionality you could ever think of. How on earth are you going to create somethign different and get someone to spot your app, let alone pay and download it?"Fear not, there is hope as one independent developer from Poland has demonstrated. Poland is a territory Google does not yet allow on the Android Market, but KreCi as he is known, has 6 Android apps available to download and use on your Android smartphone. What?s surprising is he gives the apps away for free and relies on advertising to generate revenue."

Android Tablets � a developer's view
[ Thanks to Linux User & Developer magazine for this link. ]
"The success of the Apple iPad has prompted other manufacturers to launch their own tablet devices, mainly based on the Android platform. But can Android have the same impact as it has done in the smartphone market? As well as putting together an excellent insight into the Android Tablet scene with his recent feature ?iPad Killers??, and weighing up features of the Samsung Galaxy Tab versus the iPad, Phil King also talked briefly to Tommy Forslund, producer at Swedish mobile developer Polarbit, to see what front-line developers make of the transition?"Will Android tablets be able to mount a serious challenge to the iPad?
"They stand a good chance to. Android has shown itself able to compete with Apple in the smartphone sector, and I see no reason why the same shouldn?t be true for tablets. Apple has an advantage in their nicely integrated media services, like iBookstore and iTunes. Android will be getting their music store soon though, and there?s nothing to stop first-generation Android tablet users from installing Spotify and Kindle for Android and get music and eBooks through those services."
