Ok, Magic/myTouch 3G fans; here’s the news you’ve been waiting for:
…
http://www.theunwired.net/?item=unveiled-htc-skips-android-1-6-upgrade-for-the-hero-in-favor-of-android-2-0&5181
…
And, unless I miss my guess, that’s excellent news for Dream/G1 owners, too. :)

we actually are not offered enough rom nor ram.
.
and no the 16gb sd card coming with moto droid does not count, i could have bought one by myself to make it 32gb of storage. And store loads of music and games.
.
suddenly the sony x3 with 32gb rom and micro-sdhc card slot and fabulous rachael ui seems very attractive. too bad it doesn’t have a keyboard. Too bad that snapdragon processor apparently doesn’t seem to have a discrete gpu.
.
droid it is for me if it is released soon in europe.
.
and congrats to all android dev for your work !

rSAP rSAP rSAP! We need this profile in the Bluetooth stack Google!
C’mon how many Bentley, Audi, VW & Skodas are stuck with crap phones.
DO this because the iPhone can’t = good user base straight away!

@SprSynJn
I read somewhere that Magic might get the update since it has a bigger ROM compared to the G1, not sure about the credibility of the source though, keep your fingers crossed.

So, if I am reading this correctly then this update will not be coming to my newly purchased HT-03A (Magic) at all? Meaning the phone I purchased in August, and am locked into for another 21 months, will be considered “outdated” by next month? A mere 3 months after it debuted? Seriously?

@ Rob
I know there is pretty much no chance that my g1 will get the 2.0 update but any word on the issue?

“The framework’s multi-touch support ensures that key presses aren’t missed while typing rapidly with two fingers”

YES! The biggest single problem I have with Android will be fixed! Texting is just so much better using the soft keyboard on the iPhone because you can type that much faster not having to worry about overlapping your key presses…and now Android will do the same. YES!

Now to start saving for the Xperia X[whatever]…lordy

The one thing i was really hoping for was the pinch zoom. I have it on my Pre and it makes surfing and looking at pics much easier. But, it’s not a deal breaker and I can live without it for awhile or I’ll have to look into HTC
