Everyone has heard about Google’s Device Seeding Program. (Yes, it’s real.) So in the next few weeks (days? months?) lots and lots of people will be getting a nice 2nd-gen Android device. Except… nobody gets to choose their device. Google will send either a Nexus One or a Motorola Droid, at random. That is somewhat bad news – if you have T-mobile and bought a G1 on a 2 year contract, it will cost a hundred bucks to get out. VZW is (reportedly) even higher.
So what is a hardworking dev to do?
Here is Android Device Exchange to the rescue – hook up with other owners, device-seed recipients, etc and buy, sell or trade your devices!

According to the Android Developer Blog, you can now get an official prerelease of the Android 1.5 SDK. Just grab a download below the fold and give it a go! (Maybe this is the start of an open development process..? Or, more likely, they’re offering up betas finally. The good news is, it did come out – barely – ahead of the device release.)

Give it a try, post comments about how it works :)

(Update: Find the changelog/highlights below, and download links)

You may notice some new stories appearing – I’ve added newsfeed syndication.  Any stories acquired that way will be in the “Android Newsfeed” category. (And once I get some time, they will have something like “NEWS:” prepended to the title..)

Also, welcome our first active site member Vitriolix, who has started posting his Android-related stuff to his site.

I’ll still be posting all my goodies, and soon so can you. (Want to help test it out? Let me know..) In the meantime, I’m sorry to say that since there is no good migration path, all the user accounts and comments are gone. (For that matter, content was all moved manually. Yeah. That sucked.) So.. sorry. :(
