Fair ideas.

1) Consistent "Honeycomb" user experience.
2) Transition to on-screen navigation controls (Back, Home, Menu)
3) Unified releases (or release of ICSammich on its own)
4) Official Stylus support
5) Refined API's for most aspects (faster) or with new features (3D games, capture, playback).

I wonder what is Apple's moves?
1) 3.9" iPhone 5 with iOS 5.0 (some features stolen from android).
The A5 chip, 512mb RAM and 8MP camera with 1080p (2MP front).
Support for "4G" depending on carrier.
Less bezel, longer battery life (bigger battery), touch navigation/gestures.
A new gimmick/feature (Barometre etc) which is absent on the iPhone 4.

2) 3.1" iPhone Mini with iOS 5.0 (some features stolen from android).
The A4 chip, 256mb RAM and 5MP camera with 720p (2MP front).
Half price of iPhone 5; ie $499.
Less bezel, touch navigation/gestures.
A new gimmick/feature (Barometre etc) which is absent on the iPhone 4.

Becoming harder and harder to resist getting a Transformer. Asus is doing a great job keeping the updates flowing. Of course, I'd still rather get a Memo, but haven't seen any details for launch/price on it lately.

Hopefully, Asus was waiting to launch with 3.2 on it (Memo), which should mean it would hopefully be launching soon.

Hey Samsung might release a white Galaxy S2
http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/28/o...unicorns-righ/
all I can say is that this looks pretty slick and I wish I could own one. I wish I could even touch a Galaxy S2 of any kind for that matter.

Okay y'all... I'm back to my Motorola Atrix 100% now.

Just updated to 2.3.4, rooted - all in under 5 minutes - and looking for what's new. I have to catch up - all my Android installs were on my Xoom tablet for the last few weeks here.

Any killer apps? Anything that sticks out? Anything that you just HAVE to share? Thanks in advance.

Well, things *I* can't live without on Android (aside from essential Google apps like GMail, Google Maps, etc.):
DoggCatcher Podcast Player
Titanium Backup (good enough that I bought the pro key)
KeePassDroid
AdFree Android
Woot Watcher (bought the donation version of this one too)
Catch Notes
File Expert
LauncherPro
EasyMoney
GPS Status & Toolbox
PhotoFunia
Postagram

There's LOTS of other apps I consider golden, but I REEEALLY need these, myself.

I'm not too far off then. Just weird how one month after using WP7, I had like some 50+ updates.

Still looking for a great note taking app that functions like Penultimate.
