android developers

[AHarvey]

Hey,

I've been doing a little bit of Python programming but had some ideas for app's that i'd like to launch for android (then maybe others) so I've borrowed a friends Head First Android Development book.

It's a little out of date but their books are normally pretty good.

I've always struggled setting up programming environments etc but think I've got Eclipse and the SDK set up. I've followed the "hello world!" noob tutorial everyone book starts with and went to launch it and OMG, is it supposed to take several minutes to load the emulator?

My PC isn't the fastest (amd 64 x2 4400+ & 2gb ram) but it's never had any real issues until now. Have I set something up incorrectly or is it just slow anyway?

Also, anyone else any good links that are worth a read on the matter?

Thanks for the feedback, I've a Note, a GS2 and a G1 in the house so I can try getting those to work.

S2 might have issues because, for lack of a better word its fubar'd but the note and G1 should work fine

Any decent resources out there beside google's own docs?
