Great start to the Android environment - By: T. Rosenbaum, 15 Jun 2009 
I started to read about Android & wanted to really structured introduction to developing for the environment. 'Hello, Android' provided a strong flow of learning & at a pace that lets the user see results. The first part of the book that develops a Sudoku is productive & lets you try out different ideas. An individual new to Android environment will be able to make good use of the book.
Excellent book for those with experience - By: Mitt, 18 Mar 2009 'Hello, Android' provides an excellent introduction to the Android platform for developers. Well written & easily understood, it quickly allows you to start developing your own applications. This is by no means a complete guide to developing for Android, but it gives you enough to start.
One word of warning though, this book is not for beginners. It assumes familiarity with java & some with xml. If you intend to start developing for Android without this then I would recommend familiarising yourself with java first. Xml is simple enough to pick up as you go along, but this book is not intended for a complete novice.
