> I'm starting this petition, to express my personal frustration about

> Before m5 we were waiting about 2 months, now we are waiting almost 4

> 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.
