Google vowed that its Linux-based Android mobile platform would empower enthusiasts and amateur developers, but today we have seen compelling evidence that this is an empty promise. Third-party Android application developers, who have grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of SDK updates, were shocked to discover that Google has been secretly making new versions of the Android SDK available to the Android Developer Challenge (ADC) finalists under non-disclosure agreements.

A Linux based platform that's locked into "Java" applications and an outdated SDK that's inferior to the NDA-only one?
Seriously, Google, you're not doing your reputation justice... I mean, you guys just stepped into the net neutrality battle here in Canada but are secretly doing stuff like this? honestly.
Java Sucks
NDA's Suck
