Hello, As a developer for Android, you may sometime need dedicated technical support by technology specialists possessing very specific knowledge & experience - and you may even need assistance to a degree where you are willing to pay for it!
I acknowledge that the combined knowledge of the web and the responsiveness of the people online at the Android forums are extremely impressive, and quickly resolves the vast majority of issues. Nevertheless, from time to time, you can have a technical question that does not receive a satisfactory - if any - resolution. And even if the platform is open it doesn't mean you have the knowledge (or time!) to search the source for an answer on your own. In such a situation, professionals may be forced to pay for technical support from the platform provider - and hence I wonder if Google is providing this service for the Android SW platform? So far, I haven't been able to find such a service... 3rd party consultancy houses can obviously provide qualified services, but it can never be just as good as talking to someone who can have internal references to the people who developed an advanced platform like Android. More than a year a go a similar question was posted here by someone else in this group, but I found no satisfactory answer: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/a5330ba8a46267aa/d9fc0532598818b4?lnk=gst&q=paid+technical+support#d9fc0532598818b4 As a side comment, having some knowledge of the competing Symbian platform in the past, I can confirm that Nokia can indeed provide very qualified technical support for a very reasonable amount of money - and since they developed the core technology themselves they know the answers, or where to get them.
