Thanks, that is bad news but helpful - it lead me to

I just wondered if anyone is using this device for development
and has any words of wisdom or caution. This is the first
affordable device I have seen, so I am hopeful it will be a
reasonable development device. Thanks for any information.

Has anyone used this for testing their applications? (I know it isn't

Over the past few months I have been hoping to find *any* reasonably-

have seen.

Is this still true? Some threads I found while researching this seem

The LG Optimus GT540 is fairly cheaply now, at about $200. Does anyone

Is the one google offers still $400? I don't seem to be able to find a

Excellent, I was worried for nothing. To be clear ... if onDestroy()

I must terminate them myself? That is

It also seems that android.opengl.Matrix.invertM also does a heap

What do you mean by this? The android devices are pretty expensive,
