On the documentation page "Developing on a Device"
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html there may be
two errors in the section "Setting up a Device for Development."

First: To run (not debug) an app on a device, you do not need to set
the "debuggable" attribute in the manifest. The documentation implies
this is a requirement. It may be a good idea, but, when stepping an
absolute beginner through the process of running their first app, this
is an unnecessary detour.

Second: The instructions for turning on USB debugging don't mention
the Settings activity: "On the device, go to the home screen, press
MENU, select Applications > Development, then enable USB debugging."

The first error is more of a quibble, but the second seems to be
actual misinformation that may puzzle a beginner, wondering why there
isn't an "Applications" item on the Home app menu. In most cases this
should go "Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging," and
the menu key is not involved.

Am I misreading something on this documentation page?
