Android 2.2 - Android grown mature :)

At first, I could hardly believe it - on my two year old (!) G1, I installed a new Android OS and it actually ran faster than any before! After digging in, I could hardly believe another thing - that Google managed to go on for three years with "scripted" apps that knew no compiling... But finally, Android seems to have grown mature.

Highlight for the moment (running it for only two hours now)
- JIT: speeeeeedy :)
- Gallery - integrates with Picasa, and the "stack peek" we know from the iPad is implemented in a really nice way. Ever been looking at a Photo, and after a while realised that is what floating in 3D while following the direction of your hand? It's a WOW. Two thumbs up for Android - (ok, and for Cyanogen, who makes this available for my old G1)
