gosh...talk about mixing apples and tennis balls.
What has the Honeycomb/MotoTab announcement to do with the Nexus One being the Dev. Phone.
Do Nexus S buyers have reasons to feel betrayed cos just only 20 days after buying the newest of phones with the latest of Androids, suddenly a newer version of the latter is announced? Please...
It's the same with Nexus One users and updates, be patient, that's all. Is FroYo that bad that you can't wait or just want to get Gingerbread asap? Novelty wears fast.

Well, this is the problem with being open, developing fast and the problem of fragmentation.
Frankly I was surprised and impressed when Rubin announced that Honeycomb will run on both phones and tablets, implementation of panes will be different per device, but ultimately both form factors will share the underlying framework.
That being said, it does seem that the general strategy is to create a mobile OS across multiple form factors and use cases.
If that is the case, what is the true "google experience"? Nexus? the tablet? a new developer device?
I dont think its been stated explicitly but the beauty of Android is how quickly its evolved due to its disruptive nature. 500 dollars is well spent if the product gains functionality by software updates over the course of time it is used. If you think about it, wouldn't the nexus line of phones be theoretically depreciate the least for a product that is considered an expense?
Thus the excitement/impatience for the latest and greatest.
