As a sidebar... someone is trying to fly a "throw-away" 80 buck android based netbook... may be a sub 100 dollar "super-market" special computer... I actually bought my wife a ACUS, netbook and it has been super fast and trouble free for over a year... I used it last night for an hour or so...

Whats more interesting is the new Sense UI interface they're going to be implenting and the HTCSense.com for remotely tracking and disabling a lost or stolen phone. Whether or not it'll be free remains to be seen but I can see that being real handy.On another note, my Galaxy S phone is here!
I'll be playing with it over the next couple of days before making it my primary phone. Gotta get through my hectic schedule first. lol.First impressions so far. The phone is super light. The battery is heavier than the phone...It doesn't feel cheap at all even though its mostly made of plastic. Feels really good in the hands.

As for now though, I'm not really missing out on any Froyo features except the new Voice commands which I rarely use (and Vlingo works the same and is free now). Everything else works, navigation, mobile hotspot (came with the phone built in as the phone is originally from Canada), voice search, live wallpapers, etc. So I haven't really needed to update really. I guess it also helped I got to play with those features earlier with Cyanogen's ROMs so I don't feel like I'm being left out. lol. And the phone is very responsive so I'm not missing JIT at all.
My friends thought the phone was an iPhone until they saw the Live wallpapers and the size of the screen. The phone is very pimp.
I'll update the other thread with my GPS testing and battery life. Both excellent!

New Gmail update for Froyo users. Looks like google is updating key apps using the market now. Good move in my opinion. Slows down the fragmentation. Too bad it only works on Froyo and onwards.

Updated Gmail app in Android Market Tuesday, September 21, 2010 | 11:13 AM
We just released a new version of the Gmail app in Android Market, so Gmail updates aren’t tied to Android version releases anymore. Now you can get new Gmail stuff faster without having to wait for system updates. To start you off, we’ve improved message replies, access to quoted text, and more.
As you scroll through a conversation, your most important message actions will now stick to the top of the screen, one click away, no matter how long the email is.
Don't remember what prompted the most recent email in a thread? Now you can view previous message content more easily, just like in the desktop version of Gmail. Tap “Show quoted text” to reveal the previous message.
Finally, this updated version of the Gmail app has limited support for Priority Inbox. If you’ve enabled Priority Inbox via the desktop version of Gmail, you’ll see an “Important” label that shows all messages flagged as important. You can even add a shortcut to “Important” to your home screen.

Yeah, I'm really enjoying my Vibrant as well. The lag seems to have been fixed by Samsung in the latest firmwares and other users have noticed it so I'm not just imagining it. lol. With that said, I'm running a custom ROM now and replaced the lock screen with the stock Eclair Lock screen which I like better.

So the Desire HD isn't even out yet and the XDA people are already porting the new Sense UI to other HTC devices like the HD2. lol.

I'm sure it'll get on the Nexus One, Evo 4G, and all the other HTC phones. Would like to see it on the Galaxy S phones as well but I don't think that'll happen due to driver issues.

How quick was that? We’re just under a week outside of HTC’s event last week where they unveiled the HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z and a determined developer’s already hacked up a nice port of the HD’s image to slap onto the HTC HD2. Quite fitting that this happened so fast considering the name. If you want to flash the device for yourself, head over to developer DarkStone1337’s AndroidSpin page to download the ROM now.
For the rest of us not fortunate enough to have an HD2, we can either wait for a port to our own devices, or we can check out some of these nice looking screenshots of the new HTC Sense. I’ve included a couple above, but be sure to stop by AndroidSpin – today’s benefactors – for the full suite.

There's a few Froyo ROMs going around at XDA. Supposedly, the 23rd date is pretty spot on for the release of the official Froyo ROM as the ROMs they're getting are a lot stabler than the earlier builds. If something official doesn't come out by the end of the month, then I may make the jump.
As for now though, I'm not really missing out on any Froyo features except the new Voice commands which I rarely use (and Vlingo works the same and is free now). Everything else works, navigation, mobile hotspot (came with the phone built in as the phone is originally from Canada), voice search, live wallpapers, etc. So I haven't really needed to update really.

Looks like Samsung is busy today. The Captivate and the Fascinate both just got updates:
Captivate:

Fascinate:

Captivate:
Probably the biggest fix in the maintenance update for the Samsung Captivate was with GPS reception. OK, it might not be a "fix." But Samsung is calling it "an update to improve the ... GPS performance," and, darn it, that's a fix to us.
Anyhoo. We had two Captivates laying around. So we updated one, and left the other one looking longingly at its brother, then fired up some GPS on both. We didn't see a huge boost in our short test, but the updated phone seemed to connect to more satellites and just a tad quicker. Check out the video after the break, and let us know if your GPS is any better in the Samsung Captivate Forums.

Those of you waiting on the Verizon Samsung Fascinate update to drop -- well, it's dropping now. A recap for what's in store:
•Instant notification of Visual Voice Mail in the messaging bar.
•Improved sync between phone and e-mail accounts.
•Prompt notification when switching to airplane mode.
•Faster switching from 3G to 1x RTT.
•Search phone while on a call.
•Improved Exchange password alerts.
•No Service audio alert removed.
You can sit back and wait for the update to roll in, Or you can try to snag it at Settings>About phone>System updates. (Though it's not working for me. Grrrr.) Thanks, Cory!

This is pretty cool. Too bad TAT hasn't released any of their UI's for Android:
Source: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/09...st-see-videos/
Even with Street View, it can be hard to orient yourself in a strange area with a smartphone-based map. The Astonishing Tribe (TAT), an absolutely genius group of UI designers, wants to jazz things up by letting users shift dynamically from a flat object, like a map or a list of contacts, to a 3D one, which can be overlaid with additional information.
Horizon 2D-3D Maps
By allowing the user to seamlessly transition from a two-dimensional display to a three-dimensional one and back, TAT aims to make it easier to comfortably maintain a sense of space and orientation. At the heart of it all lies TAT Cascades, a UI framework for the production of advanced user interfaces.
TAT Cascades is a UI framework for the production of advanced user interfaces. TAT Cascades makes it possible to quickly and easily create and customize unique user interfaces with unmatched graphical capabilities, giving consumers a richer and more dynamic experience.
For a demonstration, TAT offers this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InBOO...layer_embedded
This TAT concept seamlessly combines maps in 2D and 3D. While 2D maps are great for getting a simple overview of a place, 3D maps show you what a place actually looks like. TAT Cascades makes it possible to create maps that combine both approaches, shifting dynamically between 2D and 3D. The 3D map meshes are licensed from C3 Technologies.
Horizon 2D-3D Contact List
Maps aren’t the only bit of the UI that TAT thinks can be improved with a little 3D. With Horizon List, a user could peruse a standard contact list in 2D or tilt the screen for a 3D overview that presents additional information, such as those contacts’ latest social media updates:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I5re...layer_embedded
The 2D-3D Horizon features are part of a proof of concept for TAT, as well as a demonstration of the sorts of UI innovations its Cascades UI framework can develop.
Consider us well impressed and anxiously awaiting this technology on a real-life Android device. How about you?

So I was a little bored...I decided to give the Voodoo Lagfix a go. Man is this phone even faster. Launching apps is instantaneous. Its like its reading my mind before I even click on the app. lol. Scrolling in general is smoother all around. (LauncherPro, Browser, Settings, etc.) I had no need for this lagfix but now the phone is unbelievably faster which I thought was impossible!
New Quadrant score after Lagfix:
Still Eclair 2.1 without JIT. Full fresh reboot. Nothing running except Quadrant. 5 desktops full of widgets and icons.

On the Samsung side, the Fascinate has Bing as the default search provider instead of Google Search. Bing Maps is preinstalled but Google Maps can be downloaded from the Market. However, all of this can be changed to some degree if you look around online so its not a problem. TouchWiz isn't as user friendly as Sense UI but its not as bad as people make it seem. I actually like the drop down Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Vibration toggle and their Social Network integration with Contacts. In terms of modding and tweaking, the Fascinate is similar to all other Galaxy phones out there in the market so whatever type of mods get done for them can be ported to the Fascinate. The devs are not nearly in the same quantity as HTC's but there's a good amount and growing.
My suggestion is to play with Sense and TouchWiz and play with both to see which you prefer if you haven't already. Both phones are about the same speedwise with the Fascinate being just slightly faster. The Fascinate destroys the Incredible in GPU however. So if you're into gaming and want to futureproof your phone for gaming, then the Fascinate would be the phone to get.

For those still with the Sprint SERO plans, good news. Sprint is finally adding the HTC Evo 4G and Epic 4G to their SERO Premium plan. The offer only applies if you still have the plan intact and haven't opted out of it though.
Source: http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint...ndroid-devices
If you've ever had a Sprint SERO plan, you know how damn hard it is to let it go. The old Sprint Employee Referral Offer was pretty easy to come by back in the day and brought super-low-price contract plans. But as higher-end (and more data-hungry) device launched, Sprint began to move people off of SERO.
Looks as though these cries have been heard, and Sprint has decided that as of Oct. 1 it will include the Samsung Moment, HTC Hero, HTC EVO 4G and Samsung Epic 4G in the SERO Premium plan. There is one catch -- users will have to be on an existing SERO plan before Oct. 1 to qualify for the SERO Premium plan. [Sprint] Thanks, Malatesta!

And speaking of customizability of the Droid Incredible, it looks like the new Sense from the Desire HD has been ported over to it and the Desire:
Souce: http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/23/h...edible-desire/
Look at that boot time! I wonder if thats how fast it really boots...
You've already seen it ported to the HTC HD2, and it looks like the recently-leaked HTC Desire HD ROM has now also made its way to two more likely candidates for a port: the Droid Incredible and original Desire. As you might expect, there are a few issues that you'll likely want to consider before diving right in -- there's no camera support yet on either phone, for instance -- but it does look like it otherwise reasonably stable for a beta, and it does bring some of the boot speed improvements seen on the Desire HD itself. Head on past the break for a quick video, and hit up the source links below for all the necessary details.

For some reason, Verizon isn't putting so much resources behind the Droid Incredible. They're more focused on the Motorola Droids. With that said, the Droid Incredible is a very good phone but I'm not sure how long Verizon will support it in terms of upgradeablity. Of course, that won't matter if you like to play with custom ROMS. It comes with HTC Sense and I think the current Incredibles are now using Super LCDs instead of AMOLEDs which should have minimal impact on the overall phone (and maybe a pro since it has better usability in sunlight). Sense UI is pretty user friendly for those new to Android. If you're into tweaking and modding your phone, the Incredible is a very good phone to mod because it has almost the same exact hardware as the Nexus One, and Desire. This means that whatever the devs decide to make for the Nexus One or Desire can be ported to the Incredible.

For T-Mobile there is the G2 (Desire Z in the UK) and MyTouch HD. The G2 will be coming out in the next few weeks and not too much is known about the MyTouch HD but will probably drop around Christmas. The G2 will be a Vanilla Android experience meaning it won't have Sense. Advantages of this include faster updates from HTC and Google, just like the Nexus One. (Personally, I prefer Vanilla over Sense or any of the different Android UIs out there, but once again, it comes down to the user).

The Desire HD is coming out to the UK and supposedly coming to the US later in the year but no date has been given yet and which carrier. You could import it but then 3G support would be limited to AT&T's 1900 3G band meaning you'll only get 3G in certain areas. More info about the Desire HD and whats new in Sense UI:

FYI on Verizon, I read on engadget they're going tiered data soon. Plus you can wait for the iPhone next year. Just another option but no idea if the app store will work the same.
