Android Developers Complain About The Tool Kit

How is the Android? We heard the announcement a month ago and things have been pretty quiet since then. Based on this article, things aren't going too well for some developers. Instead of being the solution that it said it was going to be, Google's mobile OS is becoming a headache for programmers.

Complaints about new software aren't unusual, but a sizeable number of developers - the very people that Google hopes will add the bells and whistles to its mobile phone software - are complaining that the tool kit is riddled with coding errors, some of them shockingly basic. Even worse, they said, is that Google has been largely unresponsive to their feedback and some observers suggested the very credibility of Google's mobile phone initiative is on the line.

When the very people that you're trying to empower are complaining about the tools you provided for them, it is natural for them to begin to question your commitment to the project. How is Google going to deal with the situation?
