Hey JBQ, I completely understand what you're saying. I never really thought the actual engineers or developers were dropping the ball, but rather that Google's management of the project was very unorganized and inefficient. I'm sure Android users and those in the community would be stoked to hear what you would like to see in a future Android release, and, what to your knowledge is being implemented into the next release. Out of curiosity, how many engineers does Google have working on Android (this is not counting outside sources who contribute to the OS through patches submitted), and how often does Google receive patches or source code builds from outside sources submitted for review? It seems to me that Google, not Google engineers, have seemed to disregard any import or strategy they put on Android, possibly because they see it as an open source project and thus not directly their responsibility. If true, Google clearly doesn't understand Android's impact on their reputation (again, in no way a criticism to you). Also, one final question, does Google make any profit or money on Android or the Android Marketplace? I was under the impression that they didn't, and thought the 30% transaction fee was just so that they broke even.
To JP and acrosser and Paper Coder (even if they were only comments on my fictional suggestions), thank you for taking an interest in Android and contributing your thoughts. Please try to spread this thread for both those in the Android community and Google engineers to submit their suggestions, wants, and hopes for Android in the future. This can become a vast resource for Google, not only Google engineers as JBQ mentioned, but all of those involved on Google's end (and outside sources) in improving Android. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
