We agree, actually. :) Unfortunately since we are focused on shipping the first devices, we have to balance the work involved in packaging (and especially testing) SDK releases against the work on the platform itself.

It would not be cool to release a new SDK with tons of changes mere weeks before the deadline. Some developers would feel compelled to pull "all-nighters" to upgrade, and that's not what we intend. - Dan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
