Chapter one HelloWorld Application. Gotta tell you I feel really dumb having to ask this question. Set up Eclipse and SDK, etc. no problem. Set target SDK to 4.0.3, added bold text to on step 9 and got "[I18N] Hardcoded string "[what i typed]" should be an @string resource".
Though maybe it was my SDK version so deleted original and set to 4.0 SDK.
Same error.
Strange that the code on the Android AIDE native app runs with no problem.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Well, I loaded the project from the downloadable code and everything is fine. Still don't know why building from scratch using the directions didn't work for me.

That would be because they very strongly urge you to include all text displayed to the user and other things as strings, it will work that way, but it is bad practise
The reason for this is that when translating to another language or changing a value, you can do everything by changing the strings file, which is an order of magnitude easier
