PLEASE consider the Palm Pre (WebOS). The ones that are currently available are pure crap. It's painful.
thanks! ▼

The problem with webOS is that they don't have a good sdk and many capabilities are crippled. For example, you can't read or write a file. Converting everything to javascript wouldn't be fun either. If they ever get around to making c/java/anything else into a non grueling porting experience they will have a lot more applications. TW

I fully intend to get the HTC Hero, assuming it arrives on Sprint next month. It's the first smartphone that I can truly say looks like it will be good. My current mobile phone is 8 years old, so this will be quite the upgrade. I also plan to use it as a development platform. Once I have two other higher-priority projects finished I intend to make a *good* calculator for it. ▼

Do you know if there's documentation to develop native code for android now? when it came out, i looked into it and java was the only supported development environment. I dont mind writing java for front ends, but i'd like to have native code back ends for all my existing libs. ▼

I haven't looked into it yet, but I would imagine it shouldn't be too difficult. What you have is basically a Linux computer on an ARM chip, so you should be able to develop whatever you want on your PC and cross-compile it with GCC. Then you could call the native code from a Dalvik wrapper. If you prefer .NET, I believe Mono has been ported over as well. That's what interests me most, to be honest, as most development I do these days is in .NET, but I think that the state of Mono on Android is a bit primitive right now. |
