Hi!
I’m developer (or I try to do it) and i´m interested in the first book:
Android Wireless Application Development Volume I
I suppose that it will permit me to learn about designing effective user interfaces and developing for diverse devices.
I hope be one of the lucky winners!
Thanks!

Having recently written a ios app, I’ve been looking at how it could be developed for other platforms, Android App Development Fundamentals looks like it would give the information needed to set up Eclipse ready for Android development and tutorials on how to write my first app. I should then be able to take this knowledge and write many other apps.
Thanks
