Getting Started with Android Development with Honeycomb - Stack Overflow

I recently purchased one of the nifty Motorola Xoom's and I'd really like to take a shot at developing some applications for it. I work as a .NET developer using C# and it has been about 6 years since I have looked at Java. In my research I haven't really found and good tutorials or learning resources about Android 3.0 and how to leverage its uses in Android development. So my question(s) is this, does any one know of any good resources? books? whatever for learning Android development or would tutorials say involving 2.2 or 2.3 be acceptable?

For the developers, they will find news tools such as:

• New UI framework for creating great tablet apps
• High-performance 2D and 3D graphics
• Support for multicore processor architectures
• Rich multimedia and connectivity
• Enhancements for enterprise
• Compatibility with existing apps

And for the 99.9% of you our there who don’t develop apps, what we have to look forward to is things like:

• System Bar, for global status and notifications
• Action Bar, for application control
• Customizable Home screens
• Recent Apps, for easy visual multitasking (pictured to the right)
• Redesigned keyboard
• Improved text selection, copy and paste (editorial: About blasted time!)
• New connectivity options
• Updated set of standard apps (browser, camera & gallery, contacts, e-mail)

Installing Android 3.0 on the Nook Color

I just got my Nook Color last night and am looking forward to running Honeycomb from the SD card. They had an entire area in the front of the store with multiple test stations and lots of display space devoted to various covers and other accessories. I opted for the dark polyurethane flip cover with magnetic clasp. Although I think $39.95 is pretty steep for a basic flip cover it does seem well made and well thought out. The cover also doubles as a portrait viewing stand with two positions. There were several sales staff on hand to answer any questions and share stories of how they use the Nook (and how wonderful it is). However, I was misinformed by the staff that the Nook comes with an 8 GB card SD card pre-installed. When I asked to see how to access the card on one of the test units he wasn't able to open the cover since the Nooks in the store are security tethered at the corner. I could have picked up a card at MicroCenter while I was there getting a card reader but figured I'd give it a try with the 8 GB card first before spending the cash for a 16GB card. Lesson learned: trust, but verify.

Other than that (and a stuck pixel that I'm hoping will sort itself out) the purchase experience was pleasant and I was still able to use the Nook's built in web browser to do some reading. It was fairly quick and responsive and despite the limitations seems worth the asking price as-is. Yet it offers the potential for so much more, and notably, without any restrictions. B&N seems perfectly content to sell you the unit for $249 and let you do whatever you want with it, hoping you'll buy a case and few books. Sounds like a fair deal to me and I'll probably buy a few books to throw them some business for being cool. Given Amazon's support for Android with their cloud player and app store I'm surprised that their hardware offerings don't support the platform. I think they're missing the boat on this one.

I'll pick up an SD card this afternoon and hopefully have a capable Android tablet at a bargain price. In the meantime, here's what I'm reading to get prepped:
