Hello Jon, << It just means that they wrote apps in the areas the SDK happened to work for. >>
That's a big issue. Android seems interesting because Google claims that Android presents a much better API : Devleppers should have access to all the telephone's functionalities. If this is not the case, then Android is not better that other OS. In this case, they are no good reason to adopt Android. If we can not develop more than a "Hello Word" appication, then this API is not worth the time to learn it.
