Good point. On a recent trip in Delaware there was no 3G and a friend on T-Mo in California just switched to at&t after he was in an area with no coverage at all. Plus where are the compatible phones? Whats the point of all that theoretical speed if there are no high end devices to take advantage of it?

Hasnt at&t alrready rejected one motorola android handset?

Nothing beats saving dosh!! One for me please!

Where is the information coming from that this is coming to any US carrier?

Doesnt say anything about not still being able to buy a disc, this is a choice and one you dont have to make if you dont want to. Whats anticompetitive about that?

As usual, anything not made by apple is deemed a failure and not worth buying. But maybe, just maybe there are people who would like to use the functions this device has over other devices and are happy not to use any i products.

Here we go again, IMAP IDLE is NOT limited to Gmail as this article seems to hint at. IDLE is availalbe from a multitude of email services, free and paid, not just gmail so trying to say that having IDLE support is somehow providing special support for gmail is ridiculous.

Thats something I dont get either, so far all android devices have the same interface down to the same background, where is the customisation? And apart from the menu animations what is the appeal of the OS, particularly from a consumer standpoint? Hasnt introduced any new feature/s not possible on any other platform, doesnt seem to have any distinguishing features apart from using google's services exclusively. Cant see why so many always post how much they wished any new device announced was running android, is it just simply a case of "I love everything google, hate every other phone os"?

You have to wonder, why does this app deserve a story on its own? Is the functionality it provides really that impressive or important? Or is this just the typical fawning over anything apple related?

Its just sad that Engadget is so biased towards apple products, its okay to have a preference but at least be balanced in your posting about other competitors products and point out the bad AND good things rather than just dismissing them because the name doesnt start with "i". That said it is one of the best sites for tech news so here's hoping more balanced reporting will be forthcoming.
