I think after they should have opened registration to developers already
publishing on the Market before the general public. That is unless the
agenda was just to get more people developing for Android. For
experienced developers that might not be worth it other that for
networking especially if the "anticipated goodies" don't pan out.

I suspect they didn't expect the onslaught of registrations *at all*.
They'd figure an 'x'-number of visits to the google-io website, an 'y'-
number of registration attempts and yet another lower number of actual
registrations(=a known number, while 'x' and 'y' are unknown but can
be guessed from previous years). Then spread these number over about
50 days (from previous years), or maybe over 10 days.
I think this is what they scaled their servers for (wrongly or
correctly).
And even if they got the numbers 'x' and 'y' somewhat right (i think
'y' was way larger than expected), it was all sold-out in 59 minutes,
not 50 days. This is more than 1000 times faster than expected. The
scaling of their servers may have been totally wrong.
50 days versus 59 minutes... and i wonder how many registration
attempts there were.
