[android-developers] Re: When will the next version of SDK be published

[Bruno Sauer]

yes yes yes, it would be disappointing, and as you put it in your blog, "disturbing", and I'd even go so far as to say it'd be disastrously "fragmentatious" (:-<)! I am also hoping that we're being a bit premature here and not jumping to the wrong conclusions too soon. Google's got a great thing going here because 1) the Android Java platform is the best thing for the mobile world that anybody could dream of inventing and 2) the power of open source's imagination, diversity and creativity is unsurpassable. Simply irrefutable. If Google does intend to "lock us out" then instead of unifying the world they'll see us wander off into the barren wastelands of LiMo, or go back into the caves and huddle around our C/C++ fires. Not that the Maemo band and others don't have a nice little campfire going; the point is that mankind has learned a lot since building campfires with C: Java is nuclear power distribution. Android is the future. Help us help you Google - do no evil - keep it open. Mark Murphy wrote: Shane Isbell wrote: I think you missed a subtext in the referenced post. According to Zach's source, the public release will not be coming for "several months", effectively barring the ADC losers from even creating Android software that is on schedule to launch with a real handset! Yes, I caught that! Google has now has a select group of emerging software vendors and the rest of us don't matter much. It's the early days of J2ME and the Sprint Developer Program all over again. Nothings changed. Time to start looking at LiMo and see if it has any teeth for open-source. It's definitely disappointing. I can only hope that, somehow, the Hello Android report missed something.
