I wish Android could decide between white-on-black-background or black-on-white-background. I like the dark style, but it doesn't seem to be consistent. It is even less consistent on these screenshots.<p>Also, will the release builds finally have multitouch?
I'm glad to see that they move away from the 3d app icons with the angled shadows and use larger, flat icons in 2.0.<p>The older-style icons are a pain to make and the Android icon design guidelines are way more complicated than the iPhone icon guidelines, so no one bothers to follow them.
Last weekend I spent buying, customizing, replacing and then a few days later taking the HTC Hero(Android phone) back to Sprint. I ended up getting an iPHone after all that, as 2 Hero's headphone jack malfunctioned and the thing runs extremely slow/laggy & not as responsive as the iPhone when typing/interacting with it.<p>Though one thing I do miss about that Andriod phone was real time updates of Twitter, Facebook & Gmail, as well as background apps capable. I have not found an iPhone app that provides real time updates of the aforementioned.
Pretty sweet.<p>Sadly, the manufacturers take a long time to catch up to released Android versions. Almost makes users want to "wait a few months" before purchasing a phone.<p>I think Google needs to help those guys out so that they can get the releases earlier.
I can't wait to get my hands on Motorola's "Sholes" - <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/motorola-sholes-android-phone-headed-for-verizon/" rel="nofollow">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/motorola-sholes-android-p...</a>
I wish they'd release more information on what they're doing to improve battery life. That and speed are the most important things to me as a daily user of Android.
