Sigh..
 
Of course I am not forgetting about the A3000 running 2.0.

I am talking about software that has been released under the developers
program, not software that you can purchase, or is distributed with a
computer.
 
I would advise your "commercial developer" to become a part of the
developers program.  I certainly would not be brave enough to bring
a product to market (especially a hardware one!) without the knowledge
that the developers program provides.
