your private download site. This will be the last build released for
ADC Round 2 and is the build that you will need to submit your final
application under.
In addition, the final ADC deadline has been extended to Tuesday,
August 5. This is the final ADC deadline.
maybe i'm in the entrants list but i don't know it, ha:)

Ahhhhh, now it makes sense. So they've been making private SDK
releases while the rest of us suffer with the pile of bugs from the 4+
month old release.
And then "leaking" this information is their way of telling us, "We
really only need about 50 apps for the platform, so the rest of you
can just go develop for iPhone."

David it is not a problem. Just send us the latest version of the SDK
and we forgive you :D
I was watching the Google IO presentations about Google Android.
Things like it is an open platform. But when you receive an email
about a specific group can only have the latest SDK and the other
should still work with the old version, you are wondering what open
means.

To clear things up for those who were not in the loop early on.
Google has required the ADC round 1 winners to sign an NDA to get
access to newer versions of the SDK. For unknown reasons, Google has
elected not to make this decision public. Several developers and
developer advocates have commented loosely on this decision, generally
explaining that we should not expect a new public SDK, but that one
will drop some time before handset launch.
The e-mail you all received was an accident, but is essentially an
admission of this policy. It will be interesting to see if Google now
decides to formally comment on the private SDK releases.

The Apple App Store did 10 million downloads in the first five days. Android has a long way to go in a very competitive field. Without developer support, Google and the carriers are going to need one hell of a consumer product.
This explains something I've wondered about for a while. Back before
the competition I tried to build an app and couldn't get basic things
(like reading past byte 16384 of a file) working. I reported a bug,
provided an example, the whole thing. The bug and a lot (like
hundreds) of other bug reports were reviewed. But then they were never
fixed. Couldn't finish the app. Fine, whatever, I'll wait for the
phone.
I thought it was odd there were no further SDK updates -- what was
going on? Was Android delayed or canceled? Were they trying to make a
really good, complete release before they came out with something?
Now I know. They decided to work closely with a few developers and to
give them an advantage over everyone else. Could be there's a
reciprocal agreement with those developers to give them better support
in exchange for their app development work.
It's not an unusual move in software development. Not particularly
nice not to make it public, though. Just leaves the rest of us
hanging, waiting for an SDK update that never comes.

Not that Apple is that much better. No Java, no plans for it. They are
way ahead in terms of hardware and SDK stability, but Objective C is
platform specific and much harder to use than Java.
Every cellphone maker wants to control the market and keep the app
market open to themselves and their partners. They're all terrified
that what happened to IBM in the PC market will happen to them.
Some day a cellphone platform will come along that enables real
application development on a stable platform available from multiple
manufacturers. (That's what I'd hoped Android was.) Then the market
will really take off. Until then, we're stuck with fragmentation, like
PC app developers before Microsoft crushed everybody.

Why don't you voice your opinion and for gods sake stop just sitting there reading what we post? Get your role right and show us you have some leadership to the crew(us developers). If anyone is going to make it happen, its this community of developers.
The more silent you remain, its in human nature to trust less. IMHO, you're bordering to recover!
