Hi IA Medic, The first thing to do is ensure that you have your eclipse environment setup properly. Follow this page to get that up and running: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html From that page follow the link at the bottom: Installing the SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html Go through all of that and run the 'Hello World' app. At that point we should know that your eclipse environment is properly setup. Then review the Using Hardware Devices' near the bottom. http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html

Hi IA Medic, The first thing to do is ensure your eclipse environment is properly setup and running. Luckily Android provides a bunch of documentation for people. :D So, first visit: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html After downloading the proper package follow the link to the installation guide: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html Follow that guide and get the 'Hello World' app running. So, at this point your eclipse environment should be properly configured. Then visit the link below the 'Hello World' tutorial called 'Using Hardware Devices'. http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html That should get you all running on your device. Repost if you run into problems.

Looks to me like this message: 'Please select a target device' is telling everyting. When you launch the app Eclipse needs to know what to install it on. Your connected device, an emulator you setup etc.

I can connect my Epic to Eclipse, but not upload the app to my phone. However, I did tether my phone and placed the app on the SD card, then installed it with Astro. I am pleased to say that it is working beautifully so far. Thanks for the replies. I'll keep everyone informed of it's release to market.
