Mobile Slashdot RSS Reader Tutorial - Free Source Code

NOTE:  This is Part 1 of a two part series.  Part two is now posted here: http://technoracle.blogspot.com/2011/01/this-is-part-2-of-tutorial-to-build.html

This post will sum up a new AIR for Android tutorial I have been working on.  The video will explain everything (will be posted shortly).    The project is an RSS reader for Android mobile devices.  I chose Slashdot (News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters!) and used their RSS feed from this URL.  The end result was a functioning mobile application that installed and worked on both the Google Nexus One phone and the Samsung Galaxy Tab.  There are some lessons to be learned though as you will see from the video.

The Slashdot.apk (Android installer package) is here: SlashdotRSS.apk

Here are some screenshots.  I plan to upload a complete tutorial soon!
