I want to congratulate you guys on how speedy the 2.0 SDK has been pushed out. After just releasing 1.6 and it did not include many of the features people were hoping for (Bluetooth SDK, multi-touch, etc) I figured we'd be well into 2010 before we even were close to these much desired platform features. I haven't had a chance to look at sync adapters, but I think those could end up being the single greatest improvement to 2.0!
So, once again, congratulations! I think the grumbling is more about how all the development is done behind closed doors, if this weren't the case then a simple git pull would be enough to give developers an idea of how their apps will work in future releases without putting extra burden on Android engineers. And I think most of us here know that it's not your guys' decision whether or not to keep Android and AOSP so far apart. I for one am excited about the speed of the maturation of the Android platform. Once the platform really matures, I think the difference between a hypothetical Android 3.1 and 3.2 won't be so great that everyone will be so touchy about the way it is released. Thanks again to all the android team. -E On Oct 27, 9:25 am, Marco Nelissen <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 2:14 AM, MrChaz <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Yeah it would but given it's their job to support the community and > > the community is demanding more maybe they should start to look at > > their practices. > > It's not my job to "support the community", but since I'm obviously > doing so poorly at it, this will be my last post. > In any case, all I meant to say was that the reasoning in the first > message in this thread is flawed: if SDKs are "late "because it's a > lot of work to put them together, then having multiple beta SDK > releases will be even more work, and is therefore likely not going to > result in faster delivery. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
