Comment on ARM launches free toolkit for Android

Not available for OS/X.

Wants to force you to wrestle with the 600 pound monster of Eclipse.

Not free if you company has ten people or more.

That's a reasonable complaint.

The Android SDK is based on Eclipse. If you want to complain about that, talk to Google. Complaining to ARM is just silly.

Yes, it is a freemium model. What's wrong with that?

There's an Eclipse plugin in the Android SDK, but the Android SDK isn't based on Eclipse.

I use it with the far more pleasurable command line tools and ultra-productive text editor Vim.

What is OS/X? Is it based on OS/2?
