Android month

I know that you can only choose from the articles that are submitted, but there looks like a heavy Intel bias in the feature articles list for Android month, considering the overwhelming use of ARM in mobile devices.

So write some articles that don't target Intel articles. The team cannot conjure up articles that are not there, so it's up to us - the community - to provide the things that are missing.

Did you miss the bit where I said: "I know that you can only choose from the articles that are submitted..."? It was less a criticism than an observation I made when I went there to learn about programming for Android. Considering that CPU-agnostic Java is Android's main development platform, and ARM is by far the most common mobile CPU, so many articles about Android on Intel looked odd. I wish I had the time to become familiar enough with Android development to write an article! :)

No I didn't miss it. It just seemed to me that this thread doesn't add anything to knowing this. We know there aren't many none-Intel articles in there, but it's up to us to write the missing articles.

There are many people who want to learn about Android, so even having articles that describe a beginners journey in Android programming would provide great benefit if the article was well written. Not all articles have to be about how to use the most obscure, difficult features of a platform/language, so this is your opportunity to help address that gap.

I suppose I should be flattered by your faith in my abilities, but when I said I don't have time, I meant it! :laugh:
