I should have commented here instead... repasting... Very simply you are correct, it’s not available yet until it’s complete. Google I’m sure gives hardware manufacturers early access to the code base so they can test prototypes but only the GA release is available to everyone. Quite frankly I think this is very wise because I like knowing that something I grab isn’t built on a half-baked alpha of Honeycomb. Let Google finish its development work then everyone can muck with the final release and we’ll all be on the same page. If people think this isn’t open then try getting iOS to play with at any point, or consider that for fun I installed Gingerbread on a WinMo HTC Touch Pro the other day. Very simply when you’re working with a host of hardware developers on a major new OS release Google is wise to keep the development centralized until each GA version. You can’t have Bob from Poughkeepsie check in something that, while perhaps an improvement, just broke 4 prototypes and several millions in development at Samsung. You would get a stable version of Android every 2 years, not 6 months.
