Completely agree also. I'm still in a WTF mood for the restriction of selling applications outside the states. I don't get the point of selling Dev1 phones to Canada but not allowing us to sell applications. I really feel like "Ok, go ahead and play with the SDK, pay around $550 to get into development but you won't make money anytime soon". I don't see how can Android compete with the iPhone if you don't treat developers with the respect we deserve. I hope this changes. I only liked how Google does things but this time I'm really disappointed.
