Android Hacks – How to Get Started with Android App Development!

I’ve been doing a bit of research lately on developing Android development and have found a slew of sites that could jump-start your Android-app development.  Of course, there’s great books to read out there but what I like to do and how I learn best is by trying out different simple examples of programming.

Google Announces GoogleMaps Navigation!

googlemaps-navigation

Google has just announced GoogleMaps Navigation for Android platform smartphones like the G1 Phone and more.  I think this is going to be big in the next few years and definitely take a big chunk out of the current on-board GPS market.
