It's amazing and totally damn awesome. I played all weekend. The maps are superb. The guns are all great. Sounds (love the FWOMP of the grenade launcher) and voices are all great.
This was also in the Wall Street Journal today (page B5), and in USA Today.
Plus that twitter thing is kinda weird considering that you can't get data while on a call. Maybe it's like some kinda thing where if someone calls the last thing they twittered gets shown before you pick up?
@bfdhud This post is not about 2.2, this is about 3.0. I agree I don't think that fragmentation is as bad with 2.1/2.2/1.6 phones, but when 3.0 is released, there will be a huge gap between phones - some of which would have been released less than a year before 3.0 - and them not being able to get whatever 3.0 brings.
@bfdhud The difference is that PC's "shipped with early XP" are likely 6 or more years old (considering XP first shipped about 9 years ago).
There are many, many Android phones out there released less than a year ago that do not qualify for this, and that don't even have 2.1. Some of this is due to the rapid pace of development, and some due to customization by carriers and companies that delays these udpates. Either way, it's an issue and that's what people refer to when they talk about Android fragmentation.

I'm going to assume that the Incredible is the same. Why would you store jpg's on the phone's internal memory anyway.
