WIth all the bickering has anyone an answer?
Obviously the G1 will quickly go the way of the dinosaur or something will be done
What I cannot understand is that its the service we pay for that makes T-Mobil money and most techies will switch away if they cannot use the larger memory cards

What about it T-Mobile.. put your effort into pleasing users or the spigot will be turned off

Is there any API available for accessing Youtube Movies from Android phone?

Gah! Here’s hoping they never carry through with that idea of mounting the linux partition to a loopback file(what they were talking about with storing it on a special file on the sd). That opens up a gigantic security hole since there are no permissions on the FAT32 file system so any app with 0 permissions can freely modify any and all of the apps stored on the loopback file and replace them with malicious versions.

For example, if someone had the bank of america app, they could replace it with something that looks exactly the same but silently records the users bank information and sends it to the creator of the virus.

We at xda-developers thought of doing exactly that idea and abandoned it because of the huge security hole it opened up.

Is there an interactive G1 on the internet like http://interactiveiphone.com is for the iPhone? I want to test out the new G1 but don’t know anyone who has one.

Given that the G1 devices are receiving an OTA update of the same cupcake/1.5 based build that’s shipping on the Magic, I’m a bit puzzled about the belief that somehow G1 is being left behind or “relegated to the dust bin”.

Yes, at nearly every chance they got the invited anyone and everyone to make fixes, submit patches, etc. They want the help and are willing to check the changes into the official tree (they even did that live during a session on day two).

The way that I see it is that the biggest problem with the hacking that is going on at XDA is that it’s not being sent back upstream to the base Android platform. From the sessions at I/O, tt seemed like the core engineers are hoping that that will happen, since that was one of the reasons the system was open sourced in the first place.
