I'm very sorry if these questions have already been answered elsewhere, I just didn't find them, but if you could post the URL, many much thanks. Way more basic questions than you address:

-do I need a separate piece of hardware than the basic T-Mobile G1 phone I already have (i.e. a "developer phone")?

-so if I get the Android SDK (I already use Eclipse), is it possible to get my in-progress application onto my phone for testing without putting it out in the Market? Or is the emulator designed to eliminate that need?

-what is the path to getting an application in the Market?

Thanks for any useful answers!
To answer your questions...

- I'm learning to develop for android and I'm getting along fine with just the normal G1 and the SDK emulator..

- I think the emulator is meant to eliminate that need...although I doubt it's better than actually having a real phone to test it on...

- That...is something I don't know the answer to...I'm nowhere near creating a fully working app so I haven't bothered to look it up...but I'm assuming it would be through the Android Market website...(or maybe the Developers site)
