Surprisingly good, especially if you ignore the 24-hours gimmick. I got this book because 'Beginning Android 2' doesn't include Eclipse development and that's the platform I'm using. Before reading this one I had no clue about Eclipse's debugging view, which is simply wonderful. This book makes a nice compliment to BA2 and it seems more targeted to the 2.0 platform. Good color screenshots if you need hand-holding during the initial Eclipse learning curve.
