“So for instance, you could lock your photos, GMAIL and a certain folder on your desktop or something. I think that would be a great addition (3rd party app?)”

I REALLY wish I knew how to make apps.. because I WOULD SOO make this. This is something that would open the phone to everyone.. ’cause we all know we’ve got secrets we don’t want to share.. xD

Awesome vid, keepin my Android fix goin until it arrives.

Can we see some more uses of the “Long Press” functionality? That sounds great, like a right click.

Also, as I understand it, the multi-touch (iphone like) functionality is not available due to patent issues? So can we just pirate that? I mean, phuck them for patenting a finger motion! I have a finger motion I’d like to demonstrate for the guy that singed off on THAT patent.

Here’s what a bigger flush screen would have looked like on the G1. It eats up a lot of that dead space under the screen.

You’re absolutely right about the input methods. My main attraction to the G1 (even more than Android) was the keyboard + physical keys + touchscreen input methods.

Even better is that only the screens slides, leaving the physical keys next to the keyboard, which is fantastic.

My main gripe was the dead space and extra plastic between the screen and the chin. Totally useless, and makes the device look ugly, like many are saying. They could have done with a bigger screen instead to fill all that dead space…. I hope they do so for the G2.
