All indications are that the answer is YES. > - Have Google bowed to OEMs by not making details of major Android releases > available prior to hardware releases? You know, I thought that when the 2.0 SDK came out just days before the Droid. I figured that Motorola had forced Google's hand somehow. But with the Nexus 1, Google essentially IS the OEM. They're calling the shots. If they cared about app quality, they would've released the SDK weeks (or ideally, months) ago. > - Has Android become more "throw it over the fence when we're done" than > "everyone can contribute" open source? As far as I can see, this has always been the case. :^( String
