First, we’d like to thank everyone who has sent in questions to help build our Android Help Center.  We’ve received hundreds of messages and they’ve each helped us construct the newest section of the site which is still under development.

Of the questions we’ve received, a large number have focused on Android media solutions, in particular music and video.  With respect to video, most questions centered on how to get a movie from a DVD onto an Android handheld.

So, we’ve begun work on a new Help Center Guide to highlight the software available to encode DVD video in Android-friendly video files.   At this time, the relevant software is listed in the guide along with brief descriptions and download links.  Over the coming weeks, we’ll add tutorials and/or tips for using each solution, so stay tuned.  Also, if you have any questions about what we’ve posted.

Dan recently submitted a great question via email:

I have a new Android Droid … I also have an iPod and lots of purchased iTunes music. Any possibility of getting them on my Android so I can play them?

The short answer is yes, you can get your purchased iTunes music to play on Google Android devices, as well as Windows Mobile and BlackBerry smartphones.  But depending on how long ago you bought the music and what type of file you’ve got on the hard drive, the process can be very simple or more complicated.

For all the details on playing your iTunes-purchased music on Android smartphones, read our latest Android Tutorial:
