I suspect that the way you would really get some insight is to talk to a framework engineer. This might presumably give you more insight than an external consultant, because you would have an internal perspective on why certain design decisions were made. However, I would suspect that all of these people would be too busy to talk to people about designing apps. (Or at least, I *hope* the framework engineers wouldn't have to deal with being randomly pulled out of the development cycle to answer questions from random people voluntarily. :-) Kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
