Don't be angry...JetBrains sounds happy:

"Confirmed! Android Studio is a new IDE that Google is developing in cooperation with JetBrains and based on IntelliJ IDEA. Details shortly." https://twitter.com/jetbrains/status/334725715922669568

CTO of Jetbrains is talking about this at the moment at Google IO. It could have been a collaboration.

Hell, imagine all the PR at the moment. They don't just do Java, they have IDEs for PHP, iOS, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if their sales took off as a result of this keynote.

I agree. I see it as a massive win for JetBrains!

This is massive for Jetbrains! We don't know whether some money exchanged hands at this moment, but Jetbrains is going to get a lot of value from the primary Android development platform being based on their product.
