websites that work for you
I seem to be progressivly going Google, it started with search but for a long time I resisted the lure of Googles other treats.
However since I got an Android phone I've been getting slowly sucked in with accounts on Gmail, Picassa, Google, Calender, and now Google Apps
Phonegap is an open source compatibility layer for mobile development.
It provides access to common mobile functionality such as geolocation, sound, contacts etc via a JavaScript API
The idea is to make phone development more like web development, and to make deploying cross platform pas much easier.
This project looks to be in fairly early stages, but already very powerful.

Having got my android phone I decided I'd like to be able to program it, the instructions on the Google code site were great - especially as they provide an Eclipse plugin, and there's only one phone version so far - making the directions very targeted.
Then I looked on my safari bookshelf and found this book.
It's well written, assumes you already know Java and just want to get going quickly on Android, and has downloadable sample code - so far so good.
