You think you've losing your cool, try being a UK developer. We're excited because get a launch right after the US and many of us duly go out and buy the G1, only to be told a few weeks later we could have got a ADP which was more flexible, but hey, at least we've got a device where we can get the consumer view of things, Right?
Now paid apps launch, so we prep our apps, get ready to list them, and what do we find; We can only list in British pounds even though the only customers deal in US Dollars and aren't used to doing foreign exchange conversions in their head. Oh, and can we see the comments left about our apps using an official channel, well, No. And when will this change, well, that's anyones guess and we sure as hell aren't likley to get an answer from Google who have created this mess on the market. So we've supported the Android cause by getting a phone as soon as possible and we're now left with being able to list apps at prices the customers don't usually deal in, no official way of seeing the comments our customers are leaving, no method of looking at what other apps are on the market in our price bracket, and no idea when this will improve. So if you think the treatment you've had was a slap in the face, I think it's best to describe UK G1 owners as having a swift hard kick in the privates. Al.
