Specifically the apps that access system controls like wifi, have heavy UI elements, etc. (a lot of what ShopSavvy does)

Also dev's that update their apps for 1.5 right now that make use of the new uri's and similar, will crash out for the rc33 users. This should work like a regular software repository, where dependencies are listed in the package to avoid this issue.

Out of all the roll outs I've been in, this is the worst thus far.

Do we know what changes google plans to make tot he market structure? People can't be trusted to know what version their on so.. It's not liek they can brake it down by version categories for devs to select between.. This sounds like a really major problem.. That samsung I saw grafted into an NES controller this morning is starting to look really good right now ;-)

Anyways - I hope they have some plans for that because... well that is just going to screw a lot of devs and put a really NEGATIVE opinion/feeling on the overall usability of the market..

ShopShavy Is Not The Best App For The G1 So This Company Is Just Retarded For Stating Such Claims. I'm Still Optimistic About Cupcake.

Then I guess you never go shopping.
I have found it to be one of the best apps on the phone, and it's saved me a pile of dough.

IE, I had to get some tick medicine for my dogs. $60,- for a box with 3 applications at The pet store.
I bought it, went home, scanned it. And found it online for $22,-.
I ordered 3 of them right away.

I'm doing Home renovations, and needed a kitchen faucet.
I was at Lowes, and found a faucet i liked.
Scanned it in the store, and found it was at least $30,- MORE expensive everywhere else.

So, just with those 2 purchases I literally saved myself $100,- thanks to shop savvy.

That's pretty rich coming from a person who capitalizes every word.

By not allowing developers adequate time between an SDK release and a user release, Google is all but guaranteeing applications will not function properly on 1.5. There are already questions about WebViews bringing up the page in a browser instead of the application window, applications breaking when referencing other projects, button sizes being different across releases, etc.

Every other software company in existence releases OS/API upgrades to developers and allows them time to update their applications. Two-three weeks is hardly adequate time, and the SDK has only been finalized for, what, a day? Another company, perhaps you're familiar with them, has given developers at least three months to get ready for a v3.0 OS release.
