First spotted (for me anyhow) over on mobile crunch, Google Android 1.0 SDK has been released.
Those of you that have been following this blog (are there really any out there?) will know that I’ve not generally been happy with the experience on the iPhone. About the only saving graces of the phone are the large screen, coupled with the calendar coupled with the ocasionally useful app in the App Store. I don’t personally own a mac so can’t really roll my own apps.
I can’t wait to get a decent spec’ed large screen phone working on android as this will be a far more accessible hacking device for me than the current iPhone (it’s too hard to get the Neo phone’s in the .au at the moment). And who knows, maybe an android phone will actually be able to make and receive phone calls without locking the machine half the time.
Update: video goodness
I got it and the Eclipse plug-in this morning. It rocks! So easy to setup, Eclipse is so much like VS I can use it straight away, and best of all I can run it on a PC! Unlike trying to develop an iPhone app. If I was on T-Mobile I’d have signed up by now. Maybe I’ll actually go line up for something.
