+1 I don't understand why everything is so closed for an open source platform. If this were any other open source project, all developers would be able to follow the trunk and we would be submitting bug fixes ... not sitting around waiting for them.
Google has really shown that they understand the open source community equally as well as Microsoft ... inotherwords, not at all. I hope the community is embraced and Android grows to see its true potential. I hope that Android becomes the best platform because it has the best development tools. I've never developed for a mobile platform before ... but I can't *wait* to one day write and distribute Android apps. I still have *very* high hopes!
