It’s not that simple. One would need to run native code, Dalvik has no Bluetooth API control yet. And, when it does, Google will probably have added A2DP by then themselves.

I did read anything about Android regarding syncronization capabilitis. Will I be able to import my Outlook’s Contacts? And what about MS Office documents? These are Treo’s strengths.
Does anybody made these questions about Android?
Thanks for the feedback!

Erollano, T-Mobile has said that they will not implement that part of the agreement, and it has since been removed.

We will be following up with a litany of Android misconceptions, in a future article dedicated to the subject.

Google has said Stereo Bluetooth (A2DP) will be added in a future software update.

To clarify, this is not a hardware limitation. Google has noted that they had to cut off A2DP in the launch software release, due to bugs.

There will be A2DP on the G1 via a future update.

It seems like a nice OS, but I don’t dig the phone either. Luckily, it is an open OS so we can port it to other devices. Oh wait, that’s already been done =) And the BT stereo depends on whether it is a software or hardware limitation. If the G1 lacks BT stereo in the hardware, software won’t help. If it does then we just need some crafty individual to write us some software to play with.
