The connector is a standard Micro-USB one and as was said I think that
is the one being standardised on. I thought it was the Mini-USB which
was being standardised on because I have seen a lot of phones using
that one as well as the accessories. I haven't seen many Micro-USB
connectors compared to
Maybe it isn't a proprietary connector as I have noticed the Kindle
uses the same connector too.

There has been a bit of discussion about different Android Phones on
the Motorola Xoom thread. It did make make me wonder if anyone besides

basically a Samsung Galaxy.

Having a "vanilla" phone is very important to me.
I just bought the G2 (US branded HTC phone) specifically because it
has the "pure Android" experience. That was an important reason I

Nexus S if it wasn't missing some features tha

That sounds plausible. Whatever the reason, Google spreading the love

I can't comment on motoblur, but my experience with sense is generally very
positive, some of their added widgets are... *gasp*... actually rather
useful.

I guess, but I'd have guessed that they'd do it continuously, every time
Google made a new drop available to them. Then, there shouldn't be much
delay.
Being first with new versions of Android seems like a competitive advantage.

Isn't the Galaxy S still on 2.1, though?
2.3 still hasn't been opensourced, so I'm not sure OEM's can start porting
it yet.
