Hi Jean, thank you for replying, i appreciate that is must be extremely annoying having to answer the same question over and over which is part of the reason i raised my points.
When i posted this topic i tried a few different search terms and managed to find 3 topics that eventually went on to discuss the ADP1.1 official update, they were: 1. Do you have an ADP1? Have you received the holiday update OTA? http://groups.google.com/group/android-discuss/browse_thread/thread/e11eeb7793ffd656?hl=en# 2. Is the holiday_devphone build an official ADP1 image? http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/4fc696bd66b988f6?hl=en 3. Where is a system-image for DP1? http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/825fb4e67d510416?hl=en My frustration or grip was not that nobody has eventually taken the time to answer the question but that because there had been no proactive attempt by the people in the know to let developers know what is going on, there has been an unnecessary amount of confusion and frustration (and the answering of the same question over and over). The topics above where you have made answers are not exactly related to a specific question of ADP1.1 official update and I wanted to make it easier for people who may still be looking for this to get a clear answer and fast. I know that I'm not alone in feeling that this matter has not been handled correctly, no doubt there are some very good (and it appears secretive) reasons for this but never the less an official statement should have been made at the very least to let developers know that they need to be patient. I want to reiterate that my comments were made with the intention of highlighting what i believe is something that needs to be improved and not to infuriate those on the receiving end of all these ADP update requests. I'm not really sure what to make of 'I'm not allowed to answer question #2', all i can say is that it doesn't really sound like the spirit of open source.
