Has anyone noticed that the homescreen captures are all 253×400 or 16:9 aspect ratio. I thought that the Nexus one comes with an 800 x 480 screen (16:10 aspect ratio) ???

Y’know, I’d *love* for android to be a killer platform, but to get there it needs to improve in many aspects, and the more you all strive to over-emphasize every little tiny improvement they make, the less anyone focuses on the glaring problems with it, and the less incentive Google et al have to FIX those problems. Good grief, getting excited over icons that roll up? C’mon, how about getting pissed off about how stupid it is that there’s still not a single android phone with a decent camera, good bluetooth support, or storage space for apps on the sd card? Those are real problems holding the platform back, yet no one, not even the bigger media, mentions them, because every constructive criticism gets buried in the flood of fanboyisms.

Where, oh where, is the real improvement in the areas where android really needs it???

What about the normal Bluetooth functionality available at every other phone? Sending/receiving files/contacts?

yes but apps take up the entire screen. So, by switching screens, you’d be switching apps

How do you access the app tray without the app tab at the bottom? That’s what I’m trying to figure out.

@ari-free
Unfortunately it seems that it’s only switching among screens not tasks.

I really like that Google is doing some polishing of Android. I wish Google improved these 3 things:

1) Tethering support

2) Switching between apps should be easier, something like on Pre, I really don’t like the current way of switching apps – long pressing the home button, then finding the right icon

3) Focus more on usability, slickness and the “feel” of Android (iPhone is quite ahead in this area)

BTW it’s amazing how quickly is Android evolving, especially in comparison with others, like WinMo.

the top right pic interests me the most. Looks like we’ll have much better multitasking UI.

it seems like that our friend http://www.youtube.com/user/NexusOneTV
has just removed his videos. I was browsing through them when all of a sudden they are removed.
