Android Version 1.0 release 2, and how to buy a $400 unlocked Android Dev Phone 1™
This also reminded me that google got feedburner.
I didn't see much of interest in code changes yet from the release notes. I haven't had a chance yet to download it and see if everything still compiles.
What's more interesting is that if you log in to your Android Market developer account, (which requires having paid the $25 registration fee), you can pay $400 to get a
Android Dev Phone 1™
Run and debug your Android™ applications directly on a device. Modify and rebuild the Android operating system, and flash it onto a phone. The Android Dev Phone 1 is carrier independent, and available for purchase by any developer registered with Android Market™.
Price: $399.00 USD
This is awesome, a lot of people have been waiting for this. You can't load a new OS onto the G1, you can't easily get Linux root access, etc. But the Android Dev Phone 1 (tm) delivers on the promise of openess we saw in Android.
