Seeing as you've spelled it wrong three times (including the thread title), I presume it's not a typo.

Well, there is no chance of my apps compiling when I cannot even spell it correctly !!!.

Thanks everyone for the advice

Android - "An automaton that is created from biological materials and resembles a human."

Personally, I'd recommend getting clued up on the HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript combination instead, so you can make stuff that works on lots of devices. That sort of thing is heavily in-demand at the moment. Everyone wants their sites and apps to look good on all the big-selling smartphones, and to use the new features.

Unless you have a specific app in mind and only want it to work on Android devices for some reason.

and then use PhoneGap or appcelerator to make it a marketplace application.

You best bet is probably a second hand HTC hero or similar from ebay or similar. That should take you from Eclair 2.1 to Froyo (2.2) to Gingerbread (2.3) if you use VillainRom.
