Excellent book Worth the money !!

Martin Alessi

There is some really great insight in this book, just not enough focus on actual design. Half the book is wonderful for a designer, the other half is code and development focused and will make your head spin. I learned enough to justify the $5 purchase though I was left wanting some actual design methodology for Android.
