we actually did it, google reached out and confirmed they are opening up access for our devices. i never thought they would listen but it turns out our pressure really worked. stay tuned for more details on how we can start helping out with the dev process.

Google Source Code for Legitimate Devices (Please Sign ONLY once, help us keep this legitimate!)
Final supporters
We are an Android loyal bunch, looking to make the most out of our devices. We know Notion Ink has tried to get in touch with you, along with some of the other "smaller" tablet players, but their efforts have been futile. Notion Ink is a start-up company looking to set their foot in the door, where only the big boys have been allowed to play. With them there are other manufacturers such as Toshiba, Viewsonic and Advent which have also been left outside of the loop. We hope that now that you meet us, their customers, you will consider allowing them in the game as legitimate companies with real potential. This would also mean allowing us the users to participate in your effort to create a real competitor to iOS which dominates the tablet field. We are mostly a tech savvy bunch, constantly curious, and full of ideas that could be of great insight for you. Perhaps we can find a more explicit way to work with you and give you feedback, through an open cooperative forum between Notion Ink and Google devs. For this to work it is crucial you allow Notion Ink and those other mentioned previously to gain access to the source Honeycomb source code and resources.
Many are skeptic to your openness to our request, I hope you prove them wrong and show that there is at least one corporate giant that has their ears open to the people. We hope you listen to this petition, moreover we hope you listen to us, Adam Users, Table Owners, but ultimately, Android Lovers!

I really want to love my tablet but the software experience is falling behind since we cant get the updates. frustrating.
my notion ink adam is basically a doorstop without proper support. cmon google quit being greedy and let them in.
Open source is the whole point of Android. Why lock it down now? Give the devs what they need to make tablets actually useful.
Google needs to stop acting like Apple. Let the smaller tablet manufacturers compete, it only helps the consumer in the end.
THEY PROMISED AN OPEN PLATFORM. STOP LIMITING THE HARDWARE PARTNERS. HONEYCOMB SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE.
