This explains something I've wondered about for a while. Back before the competition I tried to build an app and couldn't get basic things (like reading past byte 16384 of a file) working. I reported a bug, provided an example, the whole thing. The bug and a lot (like hundreds) of other bug reports were reviewed. But then they were never fixed. Couldn't finish the app. Fine, whatever, I'll wait for the phone. I thought it was odd there were no further SDK updates -- what was going on? Was Android delayed or canceled? Were they trying to make a really good, complete release before they came out with something? Now I know. They decided to work closely with a few developers and to give them an advantage over everyone else. Could be there's a reciprocal agreement with those developers to give them better support in exchange for their app development work. It's not an unusual move in software development. Not particularly nice not to make it public, though. Just leaves the rest of us hanging, waiting for an SDK update that never comes.
