As Android developer verification gets ready to go, here's a new reason to be worried

An Android SDK update raises questions about the impact of developer verification on users' ability to sideload apps when offline.

Add this to this list. I'm over it. Android is dead. RIP. It was nice while it lasted. Google eventually destroys everything it touches.

Typical to the corporate world where a CEO is so out of touch with what they are doing but doesn't matter as long as stock prices are up.

I hope they get smacked off their throne to near bankruptcy. It could happen, look at Intel. They are in deep right now. A year or two ago that was impossible to imagine.

I liked Tizen on the watches.. lol

The more I think about it the less likely we will see anything outside a SteamOS flavored OS. It's risky, expensive and needs to have apps.

Amazon was the closest and they caved and are asking GPS. When you're that close and still say NAH, I don't see much hope.

Yeah I agree

When would someone not have network connectivity or access to a PC? I don't see where this is a problem. I download APKs on mobile network or wifi and then install.
