Home Screen replacement, This is a must have and you may not even know why? Let me fill you in, do you find having four icons on the launch bar not enough? or even the ability to add more themes?

All I can say is wow! it just works and has more settings than a Swiss army knife, From resolution to sound to keyboards. It does it all and does it very well.

Feel free to leave some comments, if you are the proud owner of a new Nexus S and can shed some light on the pluses of this phone please fill me in
So many new apps are coming!!
It has been reported that android just hit 30,000 apps. Yeah i know it's still way behind the iphone, but I do suspect that this number will double by christmas. The way I look at it is you can install an application from bluetooth, usb, download from your phone and more, so it will make other sites pop up as time goes on to sell apps.
Just read an article that even AOL is getting in on the android app business and has developed 2 apps already. ;-) Yeah I know who is still using AOL. L0L
