In my view any developer outside the US have been totally insulted by the fact that no-one is thinking outside the 5% of people living in the US.
I had previously had ideas about developing an application on Android, blogged about an idea, and was ready to roll when the release plan started to public, and after looking at the release plan I decided to shelve the Android based app until Google/HTC/Someone starts to treat developers as valued partners and stops expecting them to sign up to lengthy contracts and take pot luck on availability just to create applications for an totally unproven platform that has made a big thing about wanting to help developers write apps for it. The current treatment of developers is one of the main reasons I set up AndAppStore.com, hopefully it's helping developers get to market despite Googles reluctance to provide Marketplace documentation, and the whole OHA's lack of provision of hardware for developers.
