Says Google employee:
“we are focused on shipping the first devices”
So we ARE going to get Android phones this year, and it is not only manufacturers that work on it. It is Google too - and possibly more Google than manufacturers.
Apple SDK is out (will report on it when the Apple Developer website will stop crashing).
KPCB announced a $100M Apple app fund - that’s 10 times more than Google (actually 20 times, as we only in Phase I now, where the gross prize fund is $5M). Their minimal investment is $100K seed, max $15M expansion. Again, Google min 25, max 25+275=300

The true irony is that the fund is inaugurated by John Doerr, the Real Father of Google.
