That's important for the Android team and for the Open Handset Alliance and its members, that's important for Google. That's also important for the developer community and for the end users. Hello Jean-Baptiste, I suggest that the aim be for the phones to come out in 2009. If everyone is

The biggest problem think is the lack of synchronization, between what is on the docs and what is on code. Which takes us to scavange the forums for extra info, that might have been leaked, like stuff X actually doesn't work as documented. And this steals a lot of development time. But this is

(Notice: I'm a Google Software Engineer working on Android). One aspect which I hope is reasonably clear in everybody's minds is that getting devices available is really at the top of the priority list for everyone involved in Android. That's important for the Android team and for the Open

Thanks J, that is an excellent explanation. Good to know the focus is on getting Android devices into the hands of consumers. While I'd love to see more SDK improvements (like everyone else), without actual devices out there, our dev work isn't going anywhere. -Andrew Jean-Baptiste Queru

My 2 cents: I am satisfied. The software has just come out. The examples and documentation are great for pre-alpha as it has been called here. In fact, for pre-alpha software it behaves remarkably well. I would have like to have seen the Java library source released as it would have made things

I for myself found the help given in this forum quite ample. For most of the questions I came across there were already useful answers in the forum. I tried not to work against Android, but tried to see what is possible and implement features based on that. (for example, I would not have tried to

I think I'm more disappointed when it comes to questions about the developer challenge. I understand the lack of answers, since it's really only people from the Android dev team on here, and they probably aren't the right people to answer a lot of those questions. I guess when I have development
