Beginning Android development examples
This is a simple project serving as a place to memorialize my first steps writing code for the Google Android Dev Phone 1 (HTC Magic), using Windows XP and Eclipse 3.4. Android is "real Java" up to the point of the VM which is purpose-written by Google to circumvent the Sun Java license requirements, and to be optimized for use on the Linux-based HTC phones. The Dalvik VM (DVM) is used instead of the Sun JVM. The Dev Phone has an unlocked bootloader so that you can do pretty much whatever you want with it: reflash the OS, run unsigned apps, etc. Can you say "open"?
