[Tfug] want to try doing a mobile app

Glen,

Wow.  That is a perfect answer.

I'll also welcome the arguments pro/con for specific phones and dev software.

Hi Liz,

You're going to get a lot of polarized responses to that question
on this list.

You can run your mobile apps inside a "mobile device emulator"
directly on your computer. This means you don't need to have the
device to get started.

So my recommendation is to download the software development kits
for the phones you are considering, and play around with them,
maybe make a super simple app, and see which one you like better.

Hope that helps!
