Tutorial: Arduino UNO + Google ADK
Posted by declanshanaghy in Android, Arduino on May 31st, 2011
“A few days ago I presented at the ADK Google’s blog, a platform that enables communication between Android and Arduino. The downside was that the development kit worth about EUR300.

Download PicPush, the multimedia syndication Android application from the Android Market today.
MultiChoice Preference Widget for Android
