Uh, no offense, but HTC Magic devices shipped with Android 1.5 right about when the SDK became available. In Spain, IIRC. You may recall modest gnashing of teeth over this. While the core Android team may know timelines vis a vis product launches, we out here in the hinterlands have to plan for another possible "here's the SDK! better support it tomorrow!" release. > Afaik, the Archos tablet is based on 1.5, and thus does not use the > official screen support in the 1.6 platform.

If it sells in decent quantity, or looks like it might, whether it is "the standard platform" or not means little -- we have to know how to support it. That means some of us will need to get our grubby medium-sized hands on it, to test apps and advise others. In fact, the possibility that they *do* deviate from the norm is all the more reason some of us will need hardware, since we will not be able to rely upon emulators as much.
