request to Android Market

Apple tends to do that a lot. It’s deeply ingrained in their culture, priorities, and product development practices. In brief, their philosophy seems to be to ship only what’s great and leave out the rest. That’s why, instead of having a bad copy-and-paste implementation for the iPhone’s first two years, we just didn’t have one at all

Android as a platform, both in hardware and software, doesn’t reflect this. Nearly every hardware and software release has major shortcomings or rough edges. Many details and design decisions are lacking, wrong, or inexplicable. Neither Google nor the current Android device manufacturers embody the part of Apple’s culture that allows them to release a great product on day one. They have a different pattern: It’s always getting better. We’re always supposedly one or two releases from it being really great.

I never make technology-buying decisions based on future promises, rumors, or potential. I let other people be the bleeding-edge extremely early adopters, and I stick with what I know will work and stay out of my way. I don’t buy things that are “getting better”, because they usually don’t. Whatever caused them to be lacking in their current release will usually prevent them from being great in future releases. I buy things that are great today. They’re usually things that have been great since day one. And, more often than not, they’re Apple products.

惠普旗下的Palm公司已确认，公司副总裁、webOS UI设计负责人、著名移动用户体验设计大师Matias Duarte将离职。而来自Google方面的消息，Duarte将加入Google，出任Android用户体验总监一 职。由于历史上Matias Duarte在跳槽时，总是带着自己的团队同行，所以很可能Palm原设计团队的其他人也会随之而去。这其实并不奇怪，Duarte本来就是 Android之父Andy Rubin 2000年创办的公司Danger的设计总监。 2005年Danger被微软收购后（最近推出的Kin手机来自Danger），Duarte加盟 Helio公司（由EarthLink与SK合资创办，现在是Springt-Nextel的一部分）任副总裁，负责体验设计。2007年加盟Palm， 主导webOS的UI设计。无论是Danger、Helio还是Palm webOS，其界面设计都广受好评，可惜产品本身生不逢时。尤其是webOS， 曾被许多开发者称为在创新性上唯一能与iPhone相提并论的操作系统。

Matias Duarte，在产品管理、信息架构、交互设计、视觉设计、用户研究等领域均有很深造诣的设计大 师。1996年毕业于马里兰大学。拥有计算机科学学位，并辅修了艺术和艺术史。大学期间曾经开发了一款免费游戏软件，并连续三年获得Linux Journal的读者选择奖。1996年为Atari公司（乔布斯曾经在此打工）的游戏担任过主设计师。1997年在创业公司 MagicArts任合伙人兼设计副总裁。2000年加入Danger，任设计总监，领导了SideKick产品的设计。2005年加盟Helio。 2007年加盟Palm。 曾荣获2002年Wired Rave大奖，美国国家设计奖提名，拥有9个美国实用专利和2个设计专利。 他的自我介绍上这样描述自己的目标：To create great products that make people smile.（创造使人微笑的优秀产品。）

The Android Market engineering team has been hard at work on improving the Android Market experience for users and developers. Today, I’m pleased to announce a significant update to the Android Market client. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be rolling out a new Android Market client to all devices running Android 1.6 or higher.This new Market client introduces important features that improve merchandising of applications, streamline the browse-to-purchase experience, and make it easier for developers to distribute their applications.

To make it easier for developers to distribute and manage their products, we will introduce support for device targeting based on screen sizes and densities, as well as on GL texture compression formats. We are also increasing the maximum size for .apk files on Market to 50MB, to better support richer games.

To streamline the browse-to-purchase experience, users can now access all the information about an application on a single page without the need to navigate across different tabs.

google最后给的判决书： Hi, After further review from our abuse team we have confirmed that your account that was closed was modifying the ad behavior which is strictly prohibited as stated in the AdSense policies. These types of violations pose a significant risk to advertisers and for this reason we can no longer work with you through any partnering AdSense account or product offering. This will be the final communication about this issue. Please do not reply to this email as you will not receive a response. Thank you for your understanding. Google AdSense 我们自始至终都不知道原因。

我Google了下 "modifying the ad behavior " 就是指你修改了 Google提供的 adsense js code 或者 sdk 唯一有可能的就是这里了 GoogleAdView adView = (GoogleAdView) activity.findViewById(R.id.ad<http://r.id.ad/> ); if (adView != null) { View vc = adView.getCurrentView(); if (vc instanceof WebView) { ((WebView) vc).destroy(); } View vn = adView.getNextView(); if (vn instanceof WebView) { ((WebView) vn).destroy(); } } 因为用了adsense之后 我们的程序老是crash 从stack trace看是因为Google adsense sdk 引起的. 资源没有释放. 然后去Adsense的那个mail list AFMA 问了 碰到2个都有同样问题的 然后有人给了个code 因为adsense sdk没有destroy ad view  所以要手动destroy下 我们就在每个有ads的activty的 onDestroy 加上这段 就好了 程序没有crash了 结果就被搞了 连负责我们android adsense sales都事先不知道 adsense team就直接把我们封了 还在beta 测试阶段的东西 还有bug  我们只是加了这个保证他资源正常释放不会影响到我们程序 结果就挂了 而且Google的态度巨NX无比 连个申述的途径都没有  只是给了个link类似事后调查

我刚刚给我的sale发了一封信： Hi Sunil, It has been long that I haven't talked to you. I have a question, when I went to the application register page, I found the page layout was changed and some of my apps were gone. For example UK TV Guide, Australia TV Guide, etc. Also, the published status are all "false". I am confused because I am still seeing my ads are clicked in the daily report. Is there anything wrong? I am nervous because I just knew that an AdSense developer's account was disabled without any warning,  and the developers themselves don't know the reason. I don't want that happened on me so I really appreciate your comment. below is the letter in AFMA group. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks. Cheers, Luke 接下来我引用了superdroid的信。看看他怎么说吧。
