Nexus One Update

My Android 2.2 update came through for my Nexus One finally last Thursday, and all I can say is OMG WOW! It was good before, but now it is absolutely awesome. There is now almost no reason for me to carry my netbook or ever use my desktop. Along with the real and significant speed and stability improvements, I now have Flash and a host of other added features. After years of nothing but frustration with all things electronic that never lived up to their hype or potential, I finally have a gadget that not only meets all my expectations, but goes way beyond them in a host of different ways.

There are but two remaining issues that would make this thing perfect: There needs to be an option to store maps and navigation data offline for use where there is no Internet connection (or even phone service), and there needs to be a setting in the browser that reports to sites that it is a full desktop browser rather than a mobile one. Mobile versions of sites are fine for puny machines and browsers that can't handle the real thing, but trust me, the Nexus One has no such limitations, and I am occasionally frustrated by sites that won't allow me to access the desktop version. I tried SkyFire, and even though I removed it because its main feature - flash video viewing - is now obsolete and never worked very well, its other great feature of letting you select desktop or mobile with a single tap was a real plus. I may reinstall it just for that, now that I can install some apps to the SD card and more are making that possible every day.
