Wink Introducing amateur Android App Developer... [new to Android] :)

Well, my story might sound little funny... :-)

I had this affection to Android when it came (of course Google name was attached to it and it looked like a big/significant deal). I was using a Samsung Eternity then and had never handled an Android phone. Wanted to do something other than .NET programming, so I downloaded Android SDK and started going through the Notepad tutorial (everyone has to go through that tutorial, you know ) Then I thought I will start developing my own application. I used Nokia 6630 (which actually is a Smartphone of past generations) for about 3 years and had a very nice application on it called as "Wallet". It used to help me a lot to store and manage for personal info. So, I decided to develop that kind of application on Android SDK. You see, I did not have any Android device and I do not have any as of now. I developed the app and tested it only on the Emulator which comes with Android SDK. I named it "a Wallet". It has been available in SlideMe.org Android market for some time now. You can check it out and if possible provide your feedback on how I can improve it, that would be really nice.

So, now I wanted an Android device so badly because I wanted to actually run MY application on MY Android device and see how it runs and feel good about it

After ton of research and dilemma between Samsung Galaxy I7500 and HTC Hero (unlocked), finally I bought HTC Magic (Rogers version which has AT&T 3g bands and 288MB RAM). It has been shipped couple of hours back and I am tracking it every few hours and dieing to see it in my hands, running my application "a Wallet" ..... LOL

Now, an actual introduction :-) I am from Dallas, Texas. Love everything about Android and I am living to see it become bigger than iPhone/Apple one day..... Amen. Of course I like to meet new people, know them, share knowledge, etc.

Looking forward to spend some good time on this Forum.
