Here It Is: Android Studio (Early Access Preview)
Ok, right to the point -- here's the link:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html
Note that, as of this writing, Android Studio is at version "0.1" so it is still very, very "beta".
Installation
Windows:
Launch the EXE installation file and follow the wizard. Done.
Mac OS X:
Open the DMG file and then drag Android Studio into the Applications folder. Done.
Linux:
Check for recent forks based on your Linux flavor, GIT latest version, CRC check for legitimacy, create a Bash script to.....nah, just kidding!
For Linux just unpack the TAR into an application folder, use a terminal tto navigate to android-studio/bin/ and then execute studio.sh
Most Obvious Feature
Probably the feature that every developer will first notice and appreciate is the mutiple-screen layout preview. This allows the dev to immediately see an app's UI simulated across many differently-sized devices at once -- handy! Having wrangled with targeting differently-sized target devices myself I'm certain that this feature alone would be enough to draw many Eclipse developers over to Android Studio.
