Google Trims Features Off The Android

Google is going to trim down the apps available on the launch version of the Android in order to meet its deadline. Depending on your use, the removed functions may or may not hurt.

In order to rollout the release on time, Google has announced that certain previously promised features will need to be removed from the initial version, namely formal Bluetooth implementation, and Google Talk, Google’s instant messaging software.

Google mentioned separate reasons for the removal of the two features. For Bluetooth, it simply ran out of time. Security concerns eventually led to the exclusion of Google's chat client.

I expect Google to continue developing the two features after the Android is released. Having a cellphone without Bluetooth is like getting a half-baked product.
