"Ever since I was a kid, being a programmer looked fun and exciting. But in the last decade, the novelty of the Internet has worn off, and it seems like we've just been spinning our wheels.

With the help of LiveAndroid you don't have to wait to try it out. LiveAndroid has been around for a while now.
