I've been working with Google's API's and things since 2005 and have never encountered the level of technical competence that's been demonstrated with the Android market. It's as if a person with zero experience developing systems is at the wheel of this project. If it were me doing these things, I'd quit and try and join the forest service, although they wouldn't have me because of fear I'd burn the woods down tripping over a lantern while peeing.
The scenarios I envision for the market are as follows: 1. A person with great power at Google is responsible for the Android market and everyone is afraid to tell him/her they are screwing the pooch. 2. The Android people just don't give a rat's behind about the market. 3. This is a grand experiment to see just how far the developer community can be pushed before we storm the Googleplex with torches and pitch forks. I'm inclined to believe #1 as I think the people who work on Android that I've met and had dealing with so far seem genuinely concerned and dedicated to making this platform a success. #3 does seem to be a possibility. Perhaps this part of someone's dissertation. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
