(+-),... (+1) ... I'm hoping they are building and umbilical cord to an agent running web entity for each phone. That is, of course, the obvious way to do it but not necessarily the easiest. I am presuming that they are doing work that I want to build off of and would rather have them do. Google has hired each of their employees stating that they are a 'dog company.' If they get catty with Android developers they violate employee contracts with each and every one of their employees. A part of the benefits of working for a particular employer is the good will bestowed by the population at large on people serving community by working for that employer. If they are now greeted by cold stares and shuttered doorways whenever they walk into a room for the way they have treated the android development community, then that real benefit is gone.
The other companies in the OHA (...no way are They going to make an open foot phone!) are not bound by that contractual obligation. Google needs to make it a bit more clear to their partners that they have a prior contractual obligation to each and every employee to treat the android development community right. Trusting that Google is still a dog company and they will honor the contracts made with employees at time of hire, I think they are working to make the wait on the SDK worth it. Folks here are doing their part in good faith. I'm making a significant public communication effort to head off frivolous patents so folks can work unfettered to serve ordinary people. I am also writing code at the algorithm/UI level to do what needs to be done, leaving the interface work for Google in their next SDK, or for people with existing dexterity there. As long as Google is making prior contractual obligations clear to their new partners,... I will sign the petition to be an audience for Google as they show a little backbone.
