Google Pulls Support For CDMA Devices 272

An anonymous reader writes "Google has just made some interesting changes to their developer pages. As of today, all of the documentation, source code, and firmware images pertaining to CDMA Android devices (including the Verizon Galaxy Nexus) have been removed. A statement from Google explains that the proprietary software required to make these devices fully functional got in the way of Android's open source nature, so CDMA devices are no longer supported as developer hardware. What does this mean for the Galaxy Nexus, which is only available as CDMA in the U.S.?"

    It's used in the US, where they are 20 years behind the rest of the world in mobile phones.

    Come on, America, at least move onto GSM. Now that it's all being ripped out and replaced with 3G there's a lot of GSM hardware on the second-hand market. It's not even expensive.

    Make things easy on yourselves. Take that giant leap into the year 2000.

Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
