Re: Let them eat cupcakes! No Android “Cupcake” update for G1 owners?

I wouldn't really call it banter, though I agree that Google and T-Mobile look like they have no idea what they're doing with regard to communication about this.

The Android Git repositories, which is where Google has published all of the Android code and where Google continues to develop the Android code from, are found here: http://git.source.android.com/

There's a specific repository for HTC Dream (G1/Android Dev Phone 1) compatibility: http://android.git.kernel.o...

One example of the thing I'm talking about where Google is proactively working on keeping Dream compatibility with Cupcake is this thread in the official android-platform group: http://groups.google.com/gr... (ADP1/G1 users can actually download and use Cupcake builds right now, but they're not anywhere near complete yet)

If you poke around in the repositories a little bit you can see a couple of fixes that are Dream-specific to ensure compatibility that may have accidentally been broken.

Of course G1 owners aren't getting it "anytime soon." Google says that Cupcake is currently 'pre-alpha.' Why do you make the assumption that since they say it's a work in progress and shouldn't be used by general consumers that G1s are never going to get it? Google is making sure that Cupcake is compatible with the G1/ADP1 if you take a look at their Git repositories.
