looks nice but i think with the new google android phone comming with flash 10.1 support..... it may be obsolete pretty fast

I'm frustrated that there are brand new phones *launching* with Android 1.5 and 1.6, still. It's hard to get gadget lust for something running an OS which is significantly lagging behind current models. Plus, the tweaked capabilities must mean it's a custom build of Android, which means waiting forever for updates to trickle out, if they ever even do.In my ideal world Android would be Android would be Android. New phones would be released running whatever the current Android was. And when Android updates were released they would roll out to all phones meeting certain required specs -- the update game would be cut and dry.
