a friend wants to get into android programming and wants a simple platform that allows him to download and rebuild the android source, as well as write and run new android apps. i've never used an android tablet so i have no advice. he pointed me at this: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=19180&Sku=A685-0068RB&cm_re=Homepage-_-Spot%2001-_-CatId_6838_A685-0068RB but i have no clue if that will do what he wants. thoughts? anyone out there doing this and can recommend a cheap android developer platform for someone who wants to get started? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
