[android-developers] Re: When will the Media classes be able to connect to telephone 'conversation' audio channels ?
This is a mistake. There are many reasons why exposing in-call audio to the apps process is a good idea. Please reconsider your position on this. Kind Regards, Vince On Jan 3, 1:27 am, Dave Sparks davidspa...@android.com wrote: There are no plans for exposing in-call audio to the apps processor. In-call audio is controlled by the radio and typically not accessible to the apps processor.

Both of these would be required to support advanced call handling applications ON THE DEVICE. Are there any plans to support this type of functionality ? When might it be available ?

[android-developers] Re: Locking Down Root Access - Same Sh.., Different Vendor
The phone mindset is wrong, consumers are not like they were in the 80's, now the average user is quickly growing into a terminal window and root access. The kid's are into mashing everything just look at the sites they make on facebook. Not only are they comfortable with terminal windows and root access but they can code. Phones for dummy's is old school. It for a time when nerds were uncool and users were computer illiterate.

The G1 is a consumer device and should be designed as such (including things like minimising/eliminating the possibility for users to brick the device by using a home-brew firmware). The DP1 is the dev 'phone which you can brick to your hearts content if you so wish. Yes it's annoying that the DP1 was only announced after many of us had bought G1s, yes it would be nice to have a G1 that we could use like a DP1, but that's not the main purpose the G1 is designed to serve.
