Many thanks go to my editor at Nan Barber, who not only patiently shepherded this book through the lengthy writing and publishing process, but provided valuable feedback and sharpened my prose. Thanks also go to Brian Sawyer, for making the introduction that ultimately led to this book.
I’d also like to thank all the other folks at O’Reilly who worked on this book, especially Nellie McKesson for bringing the beautiful finished product to fruition, Julie Van Keuren for excising errors, and Denise Getz for writing the index.
And finally, many thanks to my wife Lydia, who put up with being a guinea pig as I tested out the myriad communications features of the Droid 2—no more automated invitations to dinner in seven different locations at the same time, I promise!
