This would be a great idea if Google made the hardware available to everyone, but for developers who are part of the 95% of the worlds population who don't live in the US they have a choice;
a) Release and rely on user feedback to help development. b) Hold back until they can get a device and risk losing out to developers in Googles preferred markets that are able to release code soon after the G1 is available. So, although an release of emulator tested code may not be ideal, for many it's going to be the only option if they want to get things rolling, and who knows, developers may end up with users who do have G1s' who are want to help test and app and give feedback as opposed to having to wait until Google decide to launch the phone in the developers market.
