Getting started with Android :)

I'd recommend getting a cheaper Android book to learn the basics and use the online Android javadoc to fill in the gaps. And the net has tons of samples. The android devleopers page (above) also has detailed steps for setting up Eclipse and the Android SDK.

I picked up the Motorola Droid for $200. The HTC touch was also available for $100. The Droid has a flip-out keyboard which is well worth the $100 to me. But you have to decide for yourself.

 

it might just be worth going with whichever android phone (if any, that is) your current network offers. youtube may be a place to get a general feel for the device, or at least how well it is received by others. i'm too new to android to really comment on the code....
