Houston, We Have a Problem

The Alliance has got some problems on their hand  It looks like the Open Handset Alliance’s pilot project has hit a snag on the road to its final conception. Ars Technica reports that many programmers are experiencing problems with bugs in the Android and is further hampered with the lack of a public issue-tracking system which allows for easy monitoring of reported bugs and resolutions that have be done to address it. A comprehensive documentation of the OS is also sorely missing which leaves room for a lot of guess work and wasted time. Android short-circuit? However, the Android does have its strong points and the author still believes that it is a viable and effective platform for application development. So don't go thinking that it's a complete waste because it's not. Remember, it's still a developing OS. Unfortunately, despite this welcome optimism, one can't deny the fact that these problems are surely making a mess out of the over-all timetable of the Android’s final release. I guess the Alliance, more specifically the Android Team, has got their work cut out for them. Don't worry, you can do it!
