In stark contrast to Apple, which plans to release a
software developer for its iPhone in February, half a
year after the product began shipping, Google is
releasing its SDK about a year before any Android
phones ship.

Instead of designing an entire product, and making sure they
stabilize the APIs and software before letting developers loose on
it, Google had punted, decided that "someone else will do the
hardware, and we don't really care about it." Google released their
phone software platform, a developers kit, and an emulator and told
people to "have at it."
All jesting aside:
When the Apple iPhone/iPod Touch SDK hits in February, you will
immediately have devices that can use your applications.
Where are all the Google Android phones? Oh, we have to wait for the
handset manufacturers to actually design/test/build/ship them. Will
I be able to hold one in my hand in March and load my code onto it?
Just sayin'.
