I'm not terrific with any of this, but I've downloaded the Eclipse above. The SDK and AVD manager work great, but I can't link them to my eclipse? The new project doesn't have an Android option...Did I download the wrong Eclipse or what? Thanks for any help!

Woah there guy, you're not speakin' my language (ever seen Tommy Boy?)...I think I have the Google API packages downloaded already...under the AVD SDK manager it says I have installed (Google APIs by Google, Android API13, revision 1) Again, sorry, I'm slow at this.
