For those interested in Android development and also a challenge and to compete:

http://code.google.com/android/adc/

First http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

For eclipse install the plugin, and an example of Java Android Application

package com.example.helloandroid;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.*;
import android.view.*;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;



public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */


LinearLayout mLinearLayout;



public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

// Create a LinearLayout in which to add the ImageView
mLinearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);

// Instantiate an ImageView and define its properties
ImageView i = new ImageView(this);
i.setImageResource(R.drawable.guitar2_bg);

i.setAdjustViewBounds(true); // set the ImageView bounds to match the Drawable's dimensions
i.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

// Add the ImageView to the layout and set the layout as the content view
mLinearLayout.addView(i);


setContentView(mLinearLayout);
}
}



Also a nice breakthrough new in this area:
