[android-developers] Re: Cupcake coming in April? Where is the SDK?
Romain, Jean-Baptiste,
Just to clarify, the G2 is announced for April in some countries.
The G2 is using virtual keyboard.
Will the G2 be at first available with an update of 1.1 or will it be
a derivative of cupcake ?
Thanks

Hmm.. Despite the fact that this is what we want, we cannot make a
guarantee that the Cupcake SDK will be officially released strictly before
the platform is available on retail phones.
Properly testing and packaging a SDK takes a lot of time, we may encounter
blocker bugs that have nothing to do with the software on the phone (e.g.
emulator crashes on platform X, ADB doesn't see emulator/devices on
platform
Y, etc..). While we test the SDK frequently during development, doing the
necessary job to ensure that it's not going to break on the machines of all
people who download it from the official repository takes some time. And
then, the web site needs to be updated, especially the documentation needs
to reflect the new features / fixes / etc...
But apart from that, I don't see a reason why this SDK would lag behind,
and as I said, we want it to be released ASAP.

[android-developers] Re: Install Android on Windows XP
The link you used can no longuer work with the new version of the sdk because the parameters to pass to the emulator when you launch it have changed. Basically, what was described could work (the other methods described in the answers requires that you install eclipse, which is not mandatory if you just want to do in browser testings). I know that the details of the correst command line have been exchanged already on those lists, so with a fine search, you should be able to find it, or one cool guy on this list should be able to give it to you.

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1™
Considering it states"The device currently costs $399 (USD) (including free shipping in the US), and will be available for purchase in 18 international markets, including the US, UK, Germany, Japan, India, Canada, France, Taiwan, Spain, Australia, Singapore, Switzerland, Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Poland, and Hungary. We will continue to expand this program into new geographies over time. Check this page for updated information." As New Zealand is not in the list, I would consider that it won't ship there. Sure that is frustrating. So a little word from a google staff member clarifying how often this list could be updated would be welcome.

Hi, My two cents : - use the correct group, android-porting, which is full of discussions like this one. - you can also have a look at sites like http://elinux.org/Android_on_OMAP But if you look at the discussions on android-porting, you will find loads of ressources, informations and people already trying to achieve what you are asking for ;-).
