It is not a comprehensive document but is definitely a step in the right direction. It covers topics like emulator plug-in, Bluetooth programming, application signing and certification. The bulk of the document is focused on signing and certification, I wonder if Moto Q will be application locked. :? Looks like it will be. And I wish the document mentioned if the keys can be overridden programmatically.<br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Kris-Apr06-MotoQDevGuide.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />So if you are a mobile application developer, head over to the <a href="http://www.motocoder.com/motorola/template.jsp?filename=center_Q.html">MotoCoder</a> web site, download the PDF based guide and register for updates.

Developers will be all ready in time for the 2010 release too! :lol:

Done.
I hope it was a temporary artefact or a limitation of the emulator (or a case where I need to RTFM), but I couldn't help noticing that the smartphone Today screen didn't actually fit on the screen.

I think we need some developers to come up with practical home screen plug-ins for landscape layout. Instead of stacking plug-ins vertically, the plug-ins should be stackable sideways. ;-)
