The gmail/no gmail requirement depends on the handset you have. For the ones that are explicitly google branded (e.g. the droid, nexus one, g1, etc.) you do need a gmail account.
For non google branded devices (e.g. hero, moment) you don't need it. Some services will still be unavailable to you though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
