Just for clarity, while it's true that all newer models lack a physical keyboard, that doesn't infer inherent inferiority. And yes, while it's true that there's a technical difference between the G1 and the ADP1, I'm sure everyone knows what you're talking about, in the context, if you mention a "G2," instead of calling it the Android Dev Phone 2. It was quite clear what he was requesting when he asked about developer phones and mentioned a "G2."
Finally, I hate to "feed the trolls," but calling people morons for make guesses on something knows about isn't quite the best way to handle it either. Aside from all of that, I agree with you. The HTC Magic is unlikely to be another developer phone, however, I could see something with the Sense UI like the HTC Hero being another release of the developer phone. Someone mentioned earlier that the ADP1 was out of stock and they weren't selling any more. This could indicate that someone is about to release a newer developer phone. My current plan is to keep my developer phone and allow my fiancée to use it, under the requirements that she let me continue to develop on it, and buy an unlocked HTC Hero, if indeed they don't release an ADP2. I think that would suit me, well. ------------------ http://andrewhays.net http://ashays.livejournal.com On Sun, Aug 2, 2009 at 5:35 PM, lbcoder <[email protected]> wrote: > > That is kind of a stupid question since 1) there is no such thing as a > "g2", 2) there is no such thing as a "g1 developer phone".
