The Android platform is a software stack for mobile devices including an operating system, middleware and key applications. Developers can create applications for the platform using the Android SDK. Applications are written using the Java programming language and run on Dalvik, a custom virtual machine designed for embedded use which runs on top of a Linux kernel.

If you want to know how to develop applications for Android, you're in the right place. This site provides a variety of documentation that will help you learn about Android and develop mobile applications for the platform.

An early look at the the Android SDK is also available. It includes sample projects with source code, development tools, an emulator, and of course all the libraries you'll need to build an Android application.

Nestle loses sales as restaurant bans bottled water...

NEW YORK:

Tap water is fine for Alice Waters, who stopped selling bottled stuff last year at her environmentally conscious Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley, California. That could be bad news for Nestle SA. Per-capita sales of the product in the US will rise 6.3 per cent this year and 3.6 per cent in 2010, slowing from 8.9 per cent last year, according to Euromonitor International Ltd.

Operating profit growth at Nestle's water unit, whose 2006 sales of 9.6 billion Swiss francs ($8.7 billion) were 10 per cent of the Swiss company's total, will shrink by half to 5 per cent in 2008, UBS AG has forecast.


Beverage companies including Nestle, Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo Inc. are also facing inroads from private labels in the $15 billion industry. The competition comes as religious groups and environmentalists say that bottling wastes energy and overtaxes landfills.
