Want to have a more organized area to develop? faster responses to questions? more android developers? well check out forums.xynteq.com, thats exactly what we're trying to do, so bear with us, and go ahead and ask questions, more than likely one of us will be able to answer it for you 
Tutorial Description: How many questions about how to install and application from developing in Eclipse to your phone for testing do we see in a day? Plenty. It's not a dumb question, we've all been there, so here is a step by step guide, including pictures, on how do do exactly this.
Difficulty: 0/5 If you can read/follow directions, this will be a breeze for you
Overview:
Point 1: Declare your application as "debuggable"
Overview: This is telling Android that the app is debuggable, although I have in the past just skipped this step, and seem's to work just fine for me.
I. Open file "AndroidManifest.xml" in eclipse by double clicking on it
II. Declare it!
Way 1: Change to the "Application" tab, then click the down arrow next to
"Debuggable" and click true
Way 2: add the following code to your manifest in the AndroidManifest.xml tab
Add:
In the:
before the > tag.
Point 2: turn on USB Debugging!
On your phone, go to home screen>menu>settings>application settings
Here do two things:
USB debugging
Point 3: Setting up your computer
Windows:
You need to download and install a USB Driver, and explanation and download are in the same place, so really no need to go into great detail here! (click here to go to site)
Mac OS X:
It just works! Yep thats right, don't need to worry about that one! (yes, apple gets their one and only +1)
Ubuntu Linux:

Vendor ID Table
Point 4: Running Application on Phone via Eclipse
I. Plug phone into computer
II. Open Run Configurations
III. Click on "Target" then change to "Manual"
Apply & Save
IV. Run your application!
You will see this dialog, click your phone then OK and it'll install on your phone!

Code:
If you're developing on Ubuntu Linux, you need to add a rules file that contains a USB configuration for each type of device you want to use for development. Each device manufacturer uses a different vendor ID. The example rules files below show how to add an entry for a single vendor ID (the HTC vendor ID). In order to support more devices, you will need additional lines of the same format that provide a different value for the SYSFS{idVendor} property. For other IDs, see the table of USB Vendor IDs, below.
Log in as root and create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules.
For Gusty/Hardy, edit the file to read:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
For Dapper, edit the file to read:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
Now execute:
chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rulesVendor ID Table
Code:

Dell 413c
