[android-developers] Re: Future of Android
For the record, although this might belong elsewhere, I consider all the answers except Disconnect's inappropriate. While in the wrong place, this is in no way a "diatribe", nor does it show ignorance about the way open source works. It is important not to get so involved with our affinity for the platform that we reject perfectly valid questions. I have wondered most of these things myself.

[android-developers] Re: Future of Android
This is a forum for discussion of using the SDK to build applications for Android. Also, Android is a continually-in-progress open-source software stack. As such, you should expect new features incrementally over time, when they have been properly submitted, reviewed, finalized, and released. If you are not familiar with open-source development, please look into it to inform yourself. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Before hackbod and company get here... try android-discuss instead. Unless you are writing code to fix all that, in which case its probably android-platform.
