Thanks, X. That's all reassuring to hear. It sounds as if the Streak will work for me. I've signed up for pre-ordering or whatever Dell calls it, trying to get an unlocked one, so I can use it in the U.S. and abroad. (I don't yet know what kinda SIM card the Streak uses, though.)

Is there general guidance for how to spot "safer" apps in the Android marketplace? I've read that there are many crappy, scammy ones (not that there aren't plenty of those via iTunes as well). ... Hmmm, I wonder whether someone offers an app converter chart, like if you like X app on iDevices, you'll probably like Y app on Android. Might be handy for people who are switching from one OS to the other, or if a friend recommends a good app on an OS you don't use.

Oh, what's a widget vs. an app?
