If there were an Android newsgroup I'd read it (as long as it wasn't
all junk), yes.

What does supporting an official application require?

Cheers,
Daniel.

Unfortunately, I think you're wasting your time looking for an Android
newsgroup - Usenet is now in a very sorry state :(

Your best bet is the XDA Developers forum:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/

or just for Android phones:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/filter.php?cat=Android


There's some very knowledgeable people there.

Oh, yes, I know about that. I thought we were talking about supporting
an official application to get the existing misc.phone.mobile.android
group supported by common newsservers.

I'd certainly support the creation of a comp.os.android (or similar) if
one were proposed ... but wouldn't such a proposal ideally come from
Google?

Cheers,
Daniel.
