Hello Al, Valid points. Google is known for its long period beta testing, but the whole story of Android is just different. Even the Google+ is currently going through the beta stage, so why not Android?
Well, how about looking at it this way... These early users are mainly expected to be developers - using the Google "official" devices like Nexus and Xoom. In fact, there is no device currently receiving the Android 3.2 beside the Xoom. This way it might not be as bad as you think. Apple on the other hand, does not have this system of "official" developer device and end-user device and the comparison may not apply. Best regards, Paul.
