Um. "they do themselves repeated injustice by presenting their technology on very weak hardware specifications"
What is Droid? "The "Vibrate on Keypress" - where did we see this before? Its very similar to the HTC Hero." Actually it's been a feature of the standard platform IME since its first version. "Android 2.0 does have some surprises up its sleeve: new widgets and new classes that give it that "iPhone" feeling: fade-in, fade out sexy-touch-and-feel." I don't think there were any new widget classes in 2.0, nor significant new app widgets (that go on the home screen). And the picture shown here is a little strange, since I don't think that api demo nor the controls in it changed significantly in 2.0 (there may have been some smallish tweaks to graphics as they were redone in high density). Also as far as animations -- the animations have always been a part of the platform since 1.0, but were turned off by default. 1.5 introduced a visible preference to turn them on, but left it off by default. 2.0 made this on by default, and added new animations involving the wallpaper since the wallpaper in 2.0 became a separate independent plane that applications could sit on top of. "Finally, someone at Android figured out that increasing the button sizes for a phone dialer can only make the OS more user-friendly." This is really confusing since I think the buttons in 2.0 are actually a bit smaller, to allow space for the additional buttons on the bottom. :) The graphics did change, which makes them look a little larger horizontally, but the hit area is the same in that direction (and a little smaller vertically). -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
