The proceeding typos are present in the printed book also. The printed page 
numbers are the same as those listed for the e-book.   -- Scott Thisse --

I think the paragraph:
"This will free all the memory used by that Bitmap instance. Of course, you 
can't use the bitmap for rendering anymore after a call to this method."

.. should probably be placed under the "Disposing of Bitmaps" heading, below 
the "Bitmap.recycle();" line?

"And that was the activity life cycle, demystified and simplified four our game
programming needs."

second paragraph,
"simplified four" should be "simplified for"

Corrected in second edition. Unless the editors do something strange :)

Thanks a ton!
