[android-developers] Re: Device Seeding Program for Top Android Market Developers

I think it is a legit concern regarding timeframe / phone model.
Consider this... a majority of current Android devices are going to be
switching to Android 2.1 with in the next 2 - 6 weeks (if there is any
truth behind the rumors). I'm not sure where the Droid is on that
list, but I know that Sprint has their phones slated to update early
2Q (early April) which may also include the Eris (identical to
Sprint's hero) and the GSM Hero. I would really like to know A) will
we get the devices with more than a matter of a few days to test on
Android 2? And B) will are there any significant changes between
2.0.1 (or whatever the droid is running) and 2.1 that the Nexus is
running?

If the point of these devices is to get the apps ready for Android 2,
It is also a legit concern that if we receive a Droid and don't
activate it on Verizon's network / our trial 30 days expires before
the Droid gets the latest OS. I won't say its pointless, but...
