Hello everyone,

I'm starting this petition, to express my personal frustration about
the release cycles and the information policy of the Android SDK.
Before m5 we were waiting about 2 months, now we are waiting almost 4
months!
Partially the SDK is buggy (i.e.: the MediaPlayer) and features like
built-in Geocoding are not working.

In order not to lose many highly encouraged developers, I think its
time to release some news about the development process of the SDK.
Maybe let us know why we have to live with these long cycles.

As you maybe know, I am one of the biggest fans of Android, putting a
lot of work into the community through my forum. But unfortunately
disappointment is being born in the last weeks :(
(Especially thinking of recently existing OpenMoko-Phones and the new
iPhone SDK).

In my personal opinion it is not the right choice to keep developers
in the dark. We, the developers, are the absolute base of success to
the whole Android platform. The presentation with GoogleIO was a good
first step but for me it was nto enough.

Therefore I am 'signing' this 'petition', hoping to receive
information/update on the Android SDK.
