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)
