FWIW: IntelliJ is an excellent IDE, but all this anti-every-other-IDE commentary is silly... Eclipse, NetBeans and IntelliJ are all fantastic; seriously, all of them. They all have a slightly different fit and feel to them. Just figure out

I've owned 2x Nexus One, 2x HTC Magic (one myTouch 3G and one Google Ion dev device) and finally a myTouch 4G (Essentially 1 HTC phone from each generation of device they have produced). I have never enjoyed my HTC devices; they have never

No, I don't think so. Latchkey did the same calculation, using on-demand prices and came up with $35k[1] 3rd reserved is roughly 48% cheaper than on-demand, so real hosting cost would be around $18,200 for those servers. [1] http://news.yc
