I know for one I feel a bit misled. I certainly expected it to receive support going forward on a level with the G1, and other devices from a software standpoint, including the Market. I also realize I can use it for much more. The lack of paid app support for my device really ticks me off, and the fact that I can't test drive an app with the ADP1 to see if I think I can improve upon it to build a better one to compete, or if I should work on something else. I wouldn't be able to see apps at all, or comments without the site someone made. I certainly agree with Al.
We're all developers and understand the pressures and demands of the job, I just couldn't beleive such a blatant oversight was possible. If I had, I would have saved my $450, or invested it in an iPhone as I was tempted to do last May (Include the additional payment for a Mac). But I really was excited about a linux based, open source, Java Developed platform, so I waited. I would still be waiting now since picking up a second Cell Phone plan on T-Mobile wasn't something I was prepared to do. Like some others, this is a part time hobby outside of my main job. But the ADP1 was there, the Market was coming online soon, and well, now it is, but I can't use it to test drive the competition. At least I can flash the phone to whatever I wan't ;-), but I could do that with allot of other devices as well, including my iPod.
