Any word on when the YouTube API for Android is going to be released?

Question

http://www.i-programmer.info/news/193-android/4479-youtube-android-player-api.html there are a bunch of articles like the one above from the G i/o conference. But since then... radio silence. Does anyone have any insight on when this API is going into production?

All relevant news/links greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

There's been no official dates yet, but I can tell you the teams been working very hard and we hope to launch it soon.

UPDATE:

Answer 2

I don't know when it is going to be released but they have some code in their open source google i/o application.

http://code.google.com/p/iosched/

Here for example:

http://code.google.com/p/iosched/source/browse/#git%2Fandroid%2Fsrc%2Fcom%2Fgoogle%2Fandroid%2Fyoutube%2Fapi%253Fstate%253Dclosed

And the activity that is supposed to use it:
