Anybody crapper acquire an unlocked T-Mobile G1 / HTC Dream manner of Google - every you hit to do is acquire one of Google’s possess Android Dev Phone 1 devices for $400 nonnegative a whatever fees. Many hit been reluctant to do so though, originally with oftenness of OS updates existence of anxiety and most fresh non-access to Paid Apps existence the issue. Google and HTC hit today resolute both of these with Version 1.1 of Android for the Android Dev Phone actuation today.

The release notes wage a itemize of everything that is newborn and whatever of the improvements included are:

Many of the improvements are in regards to the POP3 e-mail accounts which I’m trusty module attain grouping using the Dev Phone 1 as their important phone rattling happy. A clump of API changes hit been prefabricated as well.

One of the large issues here is apparently that Developers crapper today wager Paid Apps on the market. If you’re actuation a paying covering and exclusive hit a Dev Phone I’m trusty it would be powerful preventative to be mitt in the Stygian as to how your app is performing on the mart - especially in regards to every of the lovely comments folks fuck to leave. Developer Advocate Dan Morrill addressed this supply specifically:

Some developers hit asked most the hold for copy-protected apps on developer devices, and indeed there is a regulating you should be alive of. Many developers are afraid most the unlicensed redistribution of their applications, so they attain ingest of the copy-protection feature (known as “forward locking”) which prevents applications from existence derived soured devices. However, developer phones same the ADP1 earmark for open admittance to the device’s contents, making it impracticable to oblige double protection. As a result, the Market covering on much devices is not healthy to admittance double fortified apps, whether they are liberated or paid. If you opt to add double endorsement when you upload your covering to the Android Market, then you won’t be healthy to effort it on the ADP1’s Android Market client. Your covering module ever be reachable to users who hit accepted configurations though, and if your covering (whether it is liberated or paid) is not copy-protected it module materialize on every devices, including developer configurations.

Thanks to Google and HTC for staying in contact with the needs of the community!
