Well, you all have certainly taken this discussion in an interesting direction.
I would just like to add to my original posting. Hopefully we still have some official Google person's attention. I'm pretty understanding when it comes to deadlines not being met when it comes to stuff like this. We're all developers here and I'm sure we've all experienced this. I would agree though that I think the people that went out of their way and paid the extra money for a "developer edition" phone, should be the first to get the updates. Most importantly though, I'm really disappointed in Google's lack of communication on the topic. I have to scour the web just to find a hint of some idea of what's going on with the dev phone. There is no official word or anything. Google should at least have a posting on the Developer's blog. Where is Google's "Contact Us" link for those of us who paid the $25? Why do I have to ask this question?... we really should be better informed.
