New Android SDK Out
Just wanted to let everyone know, that a new version of the Android SDK (Google mobile phone OS) is out. But boy, this is one hell of an upgrade. The GUI of the OS has been completely redesigned. Although the dock like widget was removed, other Apple-y ideas were added. For instance, you can scroll down long menus by flicking your finger (or in the emulator: the mouse) over the screen. A screenshot of the emulator running on my mac is shown below.
And to anyone developing or wanting to develop a cool app for Android, now is your chance: The developer challenge has been extended to mid-April. Unfortunately, time won't allow me to participate, but to all those who have some time on their hands: It really is very elegant to program for Android. Just download the Eclipse plugin and hack away. The demos included in the SDK show just how simple it is to make apps.
