Before downloading the NDK, you should understand that the NDK > will not benefit most apps ...' Whoever wrote that was truly a moron. Today, huge populations of computers run either IOS or Android and their numbers are growing rapidly. Only a moron would write an application for Android in Java as that would mean that it would have to be rewritten for IOS. By using the NDK you can write most of the functionality in a C++ code base shared with IOS and only use Java or Obj-C only when necessary to bootsrap the C++ stuff. Performance is benefited too in the case of Android.
