-- Are you a Android Developer? --
If you going to develop an application using Android (specially hardware dependent
application, just like new protocol for WI-FI or new network application), curren-
tly you must have a mobile phone which is fully support Android OS.
There was a Nokia phone and one Motorola phone which is support to Android
partially. Because some Android features doesn't work will on those phones.
That implies only T-Mobile G1 is the solution to such development.
Android announce that they are going to issue a phone, for Android developments
and they are call it as a Android Dev Phone 1.
Android Dev Phone 1 is a SIM-unlocked and hardware-unlocked device that is
designed for advanced developers. The device ships with a system image that
is fully compatible with Android 1.0, so you can rely on it when developing
your applications. We can use any SIM in the device and can flash custom
Android builds that will work with the unlocked bootloader.
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.
But the problem is, It is only available to registered Android developers;
anyone can register as a developer for a $25 fee.
