I guess I missed the first meeting by a day... please keep me up to date about your next meeting. I am an Android phone owner and Java developer (starting on some Android projects).
One thing you guys might want to note is that "Droid" is actually a Lucasfilm trademark licensed by Verizon or Motorola... sometimes the lawyers get snippy about using things like that in other names. I like the name though. Hope to see you at the next meeting.
