The HTC Hero interface I’m running on my G1 is very impressive. Too bad they don’t show the HTC dialer in the vid though. It has linked FaceBook pictures and dial-pad contact search (by name or number).

For info on getting Hero/Donut on G1 now, goto:

I really do think that open-source helps to spawn innovation, and I think it’s clear that Android is moving along nicely. The only worry I have is that non-google branded handsets might take too long to update the base OS.

Android Search should have been there from day 1. I gotta wait another year to get it? Ugh! My Palm III did that.

Anybody remember Palm’s Grafitti? I found it accurate, fast, and pretty easy after a while. I wonder if there is any chance that Android will support text entry in this manor?

Even with that worry, I will probably purchase the HTC Magic next week when it becomes available in Canada. I don’t know anybody with an Android handset, so I am just trying to find out as much as I can online. Liking what I’ve seen so far!

What I found most interesting was the handwriting recognition at the end. A very nice alternative to having to pull out the keyboard or hunt on the soft keyboard when you just need a few letters.

And maybe, for some people, a third, and better way of inputing text than the two keyboard methods we had before (provided they integrate it with the keyboard API, which only makes sense)

This is something that won’t actually come out for a year, and that’s all they got for us? Lame. I was buying in to the opensource hype, but it’s starting to disappoint.
The search is nice,but it’s nothing groundbreaking.
Text-to-speech BETTER give us turn by turn navigation.
And what about letting the average user install apps on SD? We all know internal storage is not sufficient.
I hope they learned the lesason that if they’re gonna unveil something, it better be a lot cooler than what they’ve shown here!

There is already an app that is very similar to the universal search called moov. Very cool.

I love the universal search!
Don’t really care about text to speech, but he did say “there are other features to Donut.” With his very hot accent of course.
