Later than the last attendee at an amnesia conference

Google's Android is experiencing additional problems on top of the troubles they already have. So, what else is new? Here's a Wall Street Journal article on the subject of Google, Inc. slipping their delivery of Android handsets.

See:

Android is late, it's late, for a very important date

Here's a quote: 

 Google Inc. is learning that changing the 
 cellphone industry isn't easy.
 ...
 Google now says that the handsets won't 
 arrive until the fourth quarter.  And some 
 cellular carriers and makers of programs 
 that work with Android are struggling to 
 meet that schedule, people familiar with
 the situation say.
Meanwhile, the rest of us mobile developers will continue to use Java ME technology available on billions of phones today, allowing us to generate revenue right away. What was that Def Leppard song from the 80's?

HW, if you're starting to get a bunker, fortress mentality from the new contenders to Java ME, at least console yourself that Google Android is based on Java - it's more palatable than the anti-Java Steve Jobs and his soso-phone.

Hi Airlan,

No bunker mentality here. I just try to give mobile developers a proper perspective without all the Google Android hype.

Sometimes, as engineers we don't know how to discern hype from reality and when a project or product we are supporting is a f*stercl*ck or is smoothly managed and well-thought out. It helps to use evidence based reasoning, tough

Evidence:

That's the test.
