Don't get too used to it -- we're getting an update to Android OS 2.1 within the next couple of weeks, purportedly. April 9 is the rumor. Should be a significant upgrade, too:

better stability
better facebook integration
live wallpapers
access to more apps
more multitouch gestures

good stuff!

Anyone got 2.1 up and running yet?

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

^^still not out on the Hero as yet. The April 9 2.1 Update appears to be yet another rumor. Should have it soon, just not today...

I did check out Waze that one of you recommended, liking it a lot. Adds a little spice to the morning commute.

Ah right, however running one of the 2.1 roms would work though, wouldn't it?

For those who are not huge fans of Safari on the iPhone, Opera Mini 5.0 was just released this week on the App Store.

Having a real hard time loading a 2.1 custom rom on my hero. Bloody firmware is too high. Haven't been able to downgrade it

I just found SwiFTP for Android thanks to Lifehacker. It turns your phone into a FTP server that you can upload files to/download files from a computer via FTP over your wireless network. And it's free!

Seriously cool app. Score!

Well there are lots of applications which are great and at the same time very useful for the ipone. Actually I really like the GPS service of that and the texi service. I really love to use that because it is very helpful in my work.

Does the rom have a good battery life? I want to upgrade mine to the 2.1 update but want a vanilla rom because i dont really like the sense interface but cant decide which one to use and i dont want ot keep chopping and changing and having to restore all the apps and data all the time.

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

very critical question mates:

my blackberry is crap, and i'm torn with indecision on whether i should pick up an android or an iphone.

help with pros and cons?

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

iPhone is more polished and has more apps (esp. games), where Android is more popular and everything is open. Android has free Internet tethering, so you can use the Internet on your laptop in the middle of a desert.



I don't think you'll regret either choice. It just boils down to do you trust Apple or Google more to deliver what you want most
