Sorry id like to believe you, but since it falls on APRIL FOOLS DAY, i reamain a bit skeptical. Sprint Buzz -1,taking me for a sucker....EPIC F A I L.Not once in my life have i ever rode the short bus, thanks for the effort...
well theres two meetings one on the 31st, and the 1st. sprint always has 2-3 meetings just incase you can't make it to the first one. very much common for sprint our last big meeting i missed the first two meeting because of school, and had to catch the third one.
Sprint CS says the Nexus One is slated for a late Spring release..Whenever that is..LoL..
the N1 will come before the evo, that's a certainty. id say nexus in june and the evo in late summer / early fall.

Isn't Spring, March April or May though....I hope we get it like April or May..They need to release the phones while they are hott and have the buzz..
Call me pessimistic, but 1 date is April 1 and says APRIL FOOLS right on the calendar. Dont surprise me, im not getting worked up till I actually see it.

any idea when this meeting is supposed to happen today?
I think since it's a marketing promotion, it will have to do more with 4G and updates to its plans, rather than new phones. But I wouldn't mind if I was wrong.
you know what would be an awesome april fools joke? if someone make a rickroll boot animation on an "OFFICIAL" 2.1 hero leak.... and it just hung on boot, infinite loop rickroll.... that would be classic
oh man bodies would be hittin the floor

yeah if youre happy with a miserably small 4" screen and cant wait a few days for a 5" one. everyone will laugh at you and say "look how tiny his phone is! what a loser". do you want that? i didnt think so.
I don't think you get what I was saying. People here were saying that given it's a Sunday, Dell wouldn't release the phone on that day. I simply responded that the Captivate was released on a Sunday. So in other words, I was saying that a Sunday release was possible.
As for the rest of your comment, I personally don't give a $hit if someone else thinks my phone is too small or too big.

its august 1st. you have 24 hours to be correct.
All AT&T smartphones are released on Sundays (iphone exception). I don't think the Streak will be released today though. If it were to come out tomorrow that means we could pre-order today and that's obviously not happening, so lets just hope for a release within 2 weeks from now.
What do you guys think the holdup is? The phone had been in UK nearly 2 months now, how hard is it to swap radio band & release? I think they are waiting to put Android 2.1 on it;-)
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
you probably that they waiting to have 2.1 or 2.2 ready to update to straight away

Eric Schmidt has even started his speech yet, has he?
He has started it. You can watch it live; http://www.web2summit.com/web2010/public/content/livestream
I don't think Gingerbread is going to be shown off at the Summit. When he started his talk he had a Nexus S with him and gave a preview of some chip technology which allows products to be purchased with a phone.
They've moved away from talking about Android and he said Gingerbread is going to be released in the next few weeks.
EDIT: You can read about the chip technology here; http://goo.gl/O1QPV

Top Stories Sprint's Kyocera Echo dual-screen Android phone announced, we go hands-on

Sprint's Kyocera Echo dual-screen Android phone announced, we go hands-on (update)
By Nilay Patel posted Feb 7th 2011 6:30PM
Hands-On
Sprint promised us an "industry first" at its event today, and it certainly delivered: check out the Kyocera Echo, the first dual-screen Android phone. That's right, dual-screen -- that's two 3.5-inch 480 x 800 displays which can be unfolded and used as a single 4.7-inch 960 x 800 surface. The screens are connected by a slick sliding liquid-metal hinge that Kyocera's filed several patents on -- the phone can be closed and used like a regular single-screen phone, unfolded all the way, or propped up into the faux-laptop configuration shown above. Under the hood there's a 1GHz second-gen Snapdragon running Android 2.2 -- we'll forgive the older software because Kyocera had to do extensive customization to add dual-screen support to seven core apps like the browser, email, and messaging. The seven optimized apps can be run on each screen individually so you can have the browser up top and email below, and several of them include useful full-dual-screen views as well. There's also a new dual-screen app manager, which is brought up by tapping the two screens simultaneously. Unfortunately, third party apps can't be run in any of the new modes and just fill the entire display for now -- Kyocera and Sprint say an SDK is coming shortly.

bah, 3.5 inch fail
Sounds pretty cool. Can't wait to see it.
Yea I hope not
from my phone duh
Even tho it doesn't really sound too appealing to me... I am really glad it isn't some form of a tablet. I feel like smartphones are taking a backseat to tablets and I can;t figure out why in the world they are so popular.
I thought Kyocera only made cheap prepaid phones?
Meh. If that's the big announcement I'm underwhelmed.

it's not a real 7 inch, theres gonna be some kind of bezel in the middle and the big gap, things aren't going to transfer across well, and it's kyocera, I haven't seen 1 good product of theirs and I had a kyocera in the past and it was fail
How about crapping on this product after we see it and learn about it's specs?

But back on topic, I'd say, try taking a Java course, and getting used to Linux. Install Ubuntu, and play around with it. Get used to using the Terminal.

By developing do you mean apps or platform?
Apps: Refer to this. It will literally be your bible.
Platform: Don't know of many docs but here's a good start.
First start small and work your way up. You won't be making anything amazing to start off with for sure.

I think I was in 8th grade, my dad handed me a phone. "What's this for." "So I know where you are." "I'm at school or I'm at home." "Well now I'll KNOW!"
Had that phone till I was 19, then bought my first "feature"phone.

I have been very interested in starting to learn how to code for Android... more specifically, I want to eventually be able to make a port of a game to Android that is better then the current port I have a lot to learn though...
I downloaded Eclipse the other day, never got around to installing it. Soon though...
