So... we're condemned AND GREEN? Wow Paula-T, that was DEEP!
I look at all this more pragmatically. Any developer who violates a non-disclosure agreement is unlikely to get another gig, so pleading and begging isn't going to get an SDK released. No, we didn't get "full" Froyo, but we did get a really good beta.
The decision to run their own "store" was arrogant and stupid, and has caused us to jump through lots of unsuccessful hoops to get Market, and scavenge for apps that should take seconds to download, but at least Entourage paid the price for their arrogance.
It seems like the technical people executed well, but the "suits" sunk the thing. We just rolled the high-tech dice. I paid a lot less than most (the Woot deal), so I see the PE as a "bridge" device, to tide me over while the tablet market settles down and the best technologies and companies distinguish themselves.
