Re: [android-developers] Re: Android 2.3 Vs 3.0
Hi siva, If a OEM is writting its own library or whatever, it should pass CTS testcases. Then only it will be a google branded phone. If it is google branded phone then it is made sure that all apps in the market are going to work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

My guess is that the Xoom will be SDK Level 11 and whatever they are calling 2.4 will either be 11 or 12, albeit some of the new API may effecitvely be a NOP when running on phones, like the new title bar stuff.

Since 3.0 is the *only* version of Android after 2.3, it's not a fork. By definition. I think we (developers) should all stop worrying and wait until after the Xoom ships.
