What path should I use for the Android Development Kit download ?

I want to jump in on the android development project but I need to know the correct path to use for the kit download otherwise things will not work properly. Any help would be appreciated!

The development kit (or bundle, as we've taken to calling it) is completely self-contained, so you can unzip it anywhere you want*.

Okay, there are some restrictions, specifically in Windows. Users have had problems putting the bundle in paths that have special characters of some sort, so I would recommend something like C:\\development\android_dev_bundle.

Hope this helps! Stop back if you have any trouble with it. There are other posts on the forum regarding issues with the bundle as well if you need to search for help.
