Bluetooth is very important for further integration of other sensors/ device to android device. I think they underestimate the importance of bluetooth. Let me put it this way: With bluetooth there is a possibility to connect Android device to lots of other thing (from T.V. and Refrigerator to phone and PC) and they simply removed it !!! I don't have enough time to wait another six month for Android 1.1, if it will not be released in version 1.0 I will go for another platform.
