[General] Google Shows Off Next Android Build -- Donut and not 2.0

[Majed B.]

Burhan,

The thing is that the Sense UI made navigating through the OS much
easier and more fun. Why would you want to jump hoops just to reach
the profile settings, when it's just one finger touch away?

Also, flash support is laggy & choppy, as mentioned. Something which
shouldn't happen when they're touting the feature on the phone :/

Anyway, as I said before, I'm waiting for more reviews to surface.
Amazon UK's shipping date was pushed back from July 15th till August
15th, so I'm not expecting any reviews from UK, that's for sure!

Also, Samsung is taking too long to release their i7500!!!

P.S.: HTC's internal storage is 800MB only, while Samsung's 4GB. On
Android, you can install applications only to the internal memory.
