I've just seen how much
iPhone / Android App developers earn compared to web developers. Consequently, I'm downloading the mobile Java resources, SDKs and all the tutorials/guides I can find.

This time next week, the furthest I'll have progressed is just past the 'Hello World' example and the all the files I downloaded will be in the Recycle Bin.

I have the

Contracting
All I can find is contracts too.

Which is all very well, until you realise that you're going to get stung by IR35, with no paid holiday, no pay if you're sick and no notice period when it all goes wrong and they want to make savings, and being unable to write the tools of your trade off against tax, unlike every other industry.

I have the SDK now.

Hah.
That's not promising.

I was thinking of an app that sends 750 volts through the case if you touch the bottom left hand corner - thus solving the problem of dodgy signals.
