| Sorry, but you seem to have missed the SDK releases prior to hardware running the Android versions. 1.5 & 1.6 did things the right way, 2.x seems to have gone back to the bad old ways.

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.

As far as I can see, this has always been the case. :^(
