Danger Hiptop Software Development Kit
--------------------------------------

This is an alpha release of the Hiptop SDK.  It contains a standalone
version of the simulator, build tools, and libraries, as well as sample
code.  The build date and build number are available in the VERSION
file in this directory.

This version of the Simulator does not connect to the service.  Individual
applications can make network connections (see 'terminal' for an example),
but the browser, PIM apps, etc will not make use of the network.


WARNING: APIs May Change
------------------------

The APIs defined in this release are not frozen and may change.
We are close to an API freeze and will do our best not to needlessly
break things, but until an API freeze is announced, expect changes.


Things you will need to use this toolkit
----------------------------------------

- Linux, Win2K, WinXP, or Mac OS X

- A Java 1.3.x or 1.4.x JDK

- Apache ANT 


Known Issues
------------

- The simulator does not pick up the correct date and time from
  the host system (it expects to receive it from the service).
  You can use the Date & Time settings to change it for now.

- There is a bitmap scaling bug that affects Rock & Rocket.
  It is simulator only.  The on-device version is not affected.

- Only ant build.xml files are provided.  Makefiles will likely
  be available in the future.

- Audio is not supported on the simulator.  This is not expected
  to change in the near future.

- There is a LOT of debug chatter to stderr.  

- Documentation is very, very minimal right now.  We are working
  hard to fill in the blanks, but priority one has been getting
  basic API docs and the SDK out.
