Re: [android-discuss] Re: Android Developer Device Seeding Program for TOP FORUM POSTERS?

It'll be legal reasons or shipping costs. These are gifts, and so they're costing Google money, so they're probably not going to spend a fortune shipping them & paying any import taxes. And hey, look at it this way; you're no worse off than before Google started doing this, and it's not like you've done something under the impression you were going to get a freebie, so what's the point in getting frustrated about it?

Being with Android development from the very beginning with quite some feedback on the many camera issues that plagued Android, I had hoped to be included in the seeding program, but haven't received an e-mail from Google thus far. Seems I did not meet the ranting criterion either, while I could not participate in ADP2 because my app was already released. Still feeling frustrated.
