it's google, what did you expect. I'm actually wondering if they use the phone to track your movement and then sell the data to marketing call centers so that they know what to try to sell you...

This is expecting to release within a month.

I've tested on N900 and yes those images displayed like it should 
no colour or greeny

"equivalent to a screen with edge dimensions sqrt(256/384)=82% of the claimed length, or (480*82%)*(800*82%) = 392*653 = 256k"
I had early hands-on as friend works at google and I recall thinking the display was nowhere near as sharp as a Droid/Milestone I'd played with a few days before.
