In the early days of Android it was suggested that 3rd party
developers would be able to replace any of the 'native' Google
applications -- including the Dialer, IM client, and SMS application.

After having a look at the 1.0 SDK it seems this isn't possible for
the first release. Is this the case? Can a Googler give us some
feedback on exactly what's been restricted so we don't waste too much
time looking for something that isn't there? :)

It would also be good to know if you're planning on opening up access
later.

>From what I can tell so far, the following is now restricted:
- Receiving Intents for incoming SMS messages.
- Access to the SMS, IM, mail, etc. Content Providers.
- A telephony API to start, end, and manage calls.
- An Instant Messaging (GTalkService) API. Specifically the ability to
send / receive IM TEXT messages.

There's more, but these are the main ones I can't find in 1.0 that
were available in 0.9.
