MOTODEV Studio for Android

I downloaded today MOTODEV Studio for Android. The tool is targeted to be a complete Eclipse based development package for developing Android applications. The key tool features are described to be as follows:

• Eclipse 3.4 based tool environment including Android Development Tools (ADT)
• Automated updating of ADT
  
• Advanced support for templates and code snippets
• Application signing support
• Marketing integration via connecting to Android application stores
  
• Update Manager for updating the installed components
• Context-sensitive help and integration documentation
• Handset emulators including the Motorola-specific ones
• Application creation wizards for creating implementations of the most common and important framework classes
  
• Virtual device lab for launching applications on real handsets hosted remotely at DeviceAnywhere, across carriers and regions.
• Package deployment supporting easy loading of developed applications to handsets and emulators.
• A dedicated Eclipse perspective
• Running and debugging application in Motorola handset

The key features list sounds very interesting and promising. It seems to me that Motorola is making a big effort and investments to enter into Android economy. I will definitively give a try for MOTODEV Studio. I will report my experiences and findings in this blog in near future. Stay tuned.

I am interested to receive your comments about this particular tool and other Android development tools currently available.
