I think the intension was to focus on the 80% of functionality that people use the most and consider the remaining 20$ as not-useful, which is generally ok by me. I think it's still better than the feature rich outlook. For me, the main annoyance is cc and bcc which I use quite often. Really, how often do you edit the subject?? more than once a week?

Are there any figures regarding the magnitude of IAP hacking?

I find Quora great for open-ended discussions that are banned from SO

Nice!

Other languages will come, as well as other sites (GitHub and others)

Whoa! this android-sdk-search thing is awesome!

Thanks - I'll have a look at androidquery.

AndroidQuery seems to lock the UI thread a bit at times. If you're just looking for a nice library to make net requests/load images I'd try Ion: https://github.com/koush/ion

Some other good libraries to check out are Volley, OkHttp, and Picasso. The latter 2 are maintained by Square (same folks who maintain ActionBar Sherlock) and they give great support in their G+ community: https://plus.google.com/communities/109244258569782858265

I hadn't heard of Ion, it looks very nice; I'm going to check the others out too. I had a hard time finding something similar for iOS which is a shame - though maybe my Google-Fu is failing me.

AFNetworking is pretty spectacular on iOS. And RestKit (which uses AFNetworking) is nearly as nice as using Ion+Gson (steeper learning curve though, but great CoreData integration if you're into that).

Many thanks for the pointers

Thanks!

Thanks! Feel free to try... we'd appreciate feedbacks
