Android has some new developer tools! Introducing the new Eclipse plug-in:
http://android-developers.blogspot.c...e-plug-in.html
I/O VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq05KqjXTvs
As a relatively new Java developer, and more importantly, an new Eclipse user (it really is an exceptional IDE for development), these tools look incredibly exciting for rapid development!
I am toying with the notion of developing an Android app, though I'm clueless about what to write. At the very least, these tools ease my mind that jumping into this somewhat exotic environment will be quite painless.
I'm interested in dabbling in OpenGL, though uses beyond a game seem non-existent.
One thing is certain: I'm loving development in Java. The thing that blows my mind is that I can deploy on windows, linux, OSX, Android, the web, etc, etc, with a singular codebase, or at the very least, a tremendous amount of re-use. Win.

Here is a developer talking about his experience with the Amazon App Store:
http://androidandme.com/2011/06/news...azon-appstore/
From your perspective, is it worth it?
Case in point, I got weatherbug elite from amazon. Works fine on my S7, crashes every few days on my vibrant and demands to be reinstalled. So now my vibrant just has the free weatherbug app. I suspect it's a problem authenticating itself. I know you have to have logged into amazon before the amazon apps work.
That's 2 strikes.
Come to think of it, amazon is blocked from 3g data (droidwall). I wonder if it occasionally re-authenticates apps when in use? The S7 can only update the weather on wifi, and amazon can re-authenticate via wifi. My vibrant can check weather on 3g, but can't re-authenticate via 3g = crash?
Possible 3rd stike if amazon has to use 3g data (from a limited plan) to verify apps occasionally. All the more reason to buy them via market if available and useful.

This is really cool...
Samsung has given a Cyanogen Mod developer a free Galaxy S2 to promote development of the OS on the S2:

Samsung sure knows how to win the hearts of the community.
A great PR move.

Received my Transformer yesterday afternoon at the office, so I didn't have much time to play around with it. Only installed and updated some apps.
When I arrived home from work I only used it for 10 min...
My GF took over the Transformer, lying down on our huge double lovesac in the living room... BIG mistake handing it to her
While she was playing with it searching for some restaurants and stuff, I was installing some HC optimized apps on it using my desktop directly from the market
Got the update to 3.1 this morning.
This thing is sweet!

Here's a very cool 3D test model that was prepared for the Galaxy Tab:
VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaGLUdydC58
Beautiful use of geometry and post processing effects. I'd love to see this in a game, so here hopes the developer has something else in store.
The Tab has really impressive graphics performance (PVR SGX540), and I assume that the majority of this is being processed in-gpu (I should hope anyway).
Masterfully done.

If you had to guess, which would you suppose would take the most damage from a waist-high drop? The iPad2, the Galaxy Tab, or Motorola Xoom.

One is an old fee-deduction trick that crossed over from the Symbian world (thanks, Symbian):
"Fee-Deduction" Malware Targeting Android Devices Spotted in the Wild
The other is a newer version of the Droid Dream malware that spread around recently, and made by the same fine folks that brought you the last bit of disaster:
30,000 to 120,000 Android Users Affected by New Variant of Droid Dream Malware
I, for one, sincerely hope that malware/virus/etc authors eat **** and die.
