So it took less than a month & a work in progress..but a few steps closer: http://forum.androidcentral.com/andr...n-browser.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqU2BuRPHh8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3IuzOKiByk http://androidforums.com/android-app...m-browser.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiZb1jXzOyM http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...rch_type=&aq=f...

Why would Motorola think that Apple would NOT sue them in Europe; but would here? If anything, they have a better shot at suing Motorola in Europe, in the current, respective intellectual property environments.

Hook nailed it. Exactly why I went with WM.

After posting this question earlier in the thread, I did some research and reading. It seems that the overwhelming thought is that the built in memory would be more than enough for 90% of Droid users. The apps for the Droid average less than 1 mbyte in size so with 250 mbytes of internal memory, you would have more than enough app room. Some of the games can go up to 8 mbytes but these are few and far apart. I think that Santa may bring me a...

thanks, ed. i did not realize that the iPhone tether was non-US only. based on your knowledge and experience, what would you consider the simplest and most cost effective option for intermittent (1-2 hours/month) tethering?

Ed, nice review... Looks to be almost identical in size to the old HP Jornadas: 3.7" screen, 6 ounce weight and 0.5" thick. With regards to MS Office, I wonder if there is a version of Open Office for this device? Great device, too bad I'm locked into an AT&T contract... Tony

I found out that my next-door neighbor just got one. First impressions are pretty good, though as usual for me, I find the screen still a bit small, albeit apparently higher-resolution than most Android devices (which use 480x320). However, I'm more excited about being able to get some hands-on experience with Android, and 2.0 at that. It's much easier to evaluate any possible pocket computer OS migration candidates that way.

Is the GPS satt or ground based, or both? Thanks!
