Con
Starts off readers learning Android 1.5
One of the problems with this book is that not only is it two years old but it teaches its readers to code for the oldest and rarest versions of Android first when it may be simpler to learn the updated and improved more recent versions of Android.

Plenty of game specific information
"Beginning Android Games" by Mario Zechner is not perfect for developers more interested in Android applications but for developers interested in Android game development it is perfect. The information is specific and detailed.

Con
Some programming knowledge needed before reading
"Beginning Android Games" skips the basics of programming that some may want if they have limited programming experience.
