with the risk of coming across as inflammatory ... you should ask yourself why you are here complaining about android and not somewhere else discussing webos or iphone OS or windows mobile. there are lots of alternatives.
my reason is that i thought i could get in the ground floor. it turns out the market was completely saturated when i got here, so oh well :) which happens to be the reason why google doesn't have to give me extra special hand holding. there's already a critical mass of developers. if i walk away there's a million people willing to step in and write replicas of the silly little apps i've published. i wouldn't be surprised to hear that google does give assistance in special cases ... with the agreement that they do not publicise the charity.
