On sites such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/ it's fairly straightforward to find firmware for HTC Magic & G1, both hacked versions and official 'stock' releases, with which you can update your phone via SD card. Dunno if this is completely legal...but I expect you'd be able to keep your phone up to date.
I don't think it matters too much whether you go for Magic or G1 (currently the only 2 Android phones on the market), but maybe G1 has the edge for development as you can test your apps with a physical keyboard as well as the soft keyboard. Also - there are some good bargains to be had now on eBay for slightly damaged units. Good luck with your tour! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
