Hello.
First, you must install Eclipse with the ADT plugins, in the latest version, it will install the android SDK for you. So, you will have all you need in order to start.
Next, you will have to code in Java.
You can look at tutorialforandroid.com, there is a tuto for what you want (sorry, I cannot post direct link because I'm a "newbie" here).
Good luck

not a problem thanks ever so much

You're welcome
You may be particulary interested by this tuto:
http://www.tutorialforandroid.com/2009/02/webview-with-zoomcontrols-in-android.html
(yes, I can post link now )
Otherwise look in google for "android webview".
If you want, I can build it for you, just give me the URL and your icon, it's a 5 minutes job

Wow sure thanks dude! My URL is: www.silverbeanandroid.co.uk
And what format should my icon be? Thanks alot

This is my icon. If you could take away the white background that would be great (I'm a bit of a noob) but if not its ok. Thanks

Here it is.
Sources and APK.
The code was inspired by these tutos:
http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-webview.html
http://www.tutorialforandroid.com/2009/02/webview-with-zoomcontrols-in-android.html
Enjoy

You can say "tuxfamily" from xda dev, it's okay
About Eclipse, install Helios
http://www.eclipse.org/helios/
and next, the ADT plugin
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
Once it have installed the latest SDK, create a new Android Project and choose to create project from existing source, and provide the path where you unzip the provided sources.
It's not so hard at it seems, don't worry.

OK thanks how do I create an android project? And if I was to use your source is there a way of putting a navigation bar at the bottom so you can navigate between 3 of my sites? Thanks and sorry for my noobieness

You can create a new android project in Eclipse like this:
File -> New -> Other ( Or simply press Ctrl + N ), then open the Android map and click Android Project.
If you need more help don't mind asking me and have a good day

Do download apps exist?

I need a way to download stuff faster on android. On firefox for pc, I use downloadthemall, it downloads parts of the file simultaneously. Is there anything like that for android, other than torrents? Thanks for any replies.

No they don't, but they may help you download larger files faster(at least that's what the author claims). Honestly I doubt that there is anything that is going to do that yet on any mobile OS. If you do find one please post back in this thread as I would be interested as well.
Will do.

Seriously, you don't give us any details so it is nearly impossible to give you an answer. Of course it can be done, but it depends on what kind of ROM you have and if you have the skill to copy and/or flash files. I suggest more searching & reading.
Your sig says you're on the P1010 -- is it running the Stock ROM? Is it Rooted? Perhaps a custom ROM? Is it de-Odexed? These are all important details. For your first hint:
Go to the "Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen". If you don't know what that is, search for it. It just may be your savior.
deleted! cause missunderstood
Not to be mod'ish but ... questions go into the Q and A sub please. Also search (and not just XDA), lots of info about this.
Install technomancer's CM7 port and then select "show battery percentage" in cyanogenmod settings.

WP7Android (Update 6/23/2012

A long time ago I posted on xda for support for a project I wanted to do. It is called WP7android. I want to bring the beauty and simplicity of the windows U.I to android phones. Well after a long time of back and forth I got support from Team Precision. I will be working closely with them to make this possible but people must realize this will take time. So i will be using my google + account to report news on this project. Prepare for a release of some of the apps in July. Also those who do follow me will be able to enter contests for alpha testing access.

Android Visual Development

Hi All,
Is there any way to develop ROMs using software like VISUAL STUDIO/
Thanks!
I'm asking because I am not so good in Coding
Did you try the currently available tools? I feel that open source tools for development in Linux or cygwin are usually only text based.

I am still waiting for someone to help me out ....
you can google for "UOT Kitchen". I haven't tried, but I heard you can make your own ROM online using the tool.
if you want to build from scratch, you need to know a lot about programming. and I don't think there is an integrated visual tools for that.

The hardest part is getting Java to run correctly. I suggest going to sun's website and downloading JDK 6 from there instead of trying to install it from apt-get. Terminal installing open jdk is easier, but it was more likely to work for me when I used the sun file from their website.
