Andoid SKD to be delayed by over a month

The SDK for Google’s forthcoming Android platform is to be delayed for several weeks while the company makes significant changes. This will in turn push back the deadline for the $10 million Android Developer Challenge from March 3rd to April 14th.

This means that the Android SDK could release up to a month after Apple’s forthcoming iPhone/iPod Touch SDK lands which is due later this month. This probably won’t have much of an impact on how the respective platforms perform long term but third party developers looking to get their applications onto the iPhone will surely be glad of not having to share the limelight with a competing platform.

In the meantime Android developers looking to snare the prize money for the Developer Challenge competition can breath a sigh of relief for their extended deadline.
