Yeah, i guess that played a big part in everything. I do think and expect them to make a better job of the 2.2 release. That is if we see that this year

2- The Honeycomb requirements are merely rumors right now. Plus if you read the fine print on the rumors you'll see that what are bandied about are *optimum" specs. Just as Windows 7 can run acceptably on Netbooks but only really shines on Core-based hardware, Honeycomb might run acceptably on lower-spec hardware. But nobody should risk anoxia waiting for it. It *is* a full re-design of the product, after all.
It will be out there soon enough, and without a doubt there will be attempts to make it run on everything and all, that will be fun!

When it comes to the IQ the most we can reasonably expect to run well is 2.2.
We *might* see 2.3 in some form but 3.0? Best not to even dream of it; disappointment lies that way.
Ah well at the time that is floating around on more machines then a very few, i will without any doubt buy something new and shiny to play with, probably a tad bigger screen, and a bit flatter then the 701. Until then it is a mighty fine plaything! Such a shame i can not get Gtalk working, i am stuck now, but with a working Gmail app, and Youtube running. I am now considering to try again with a clean slate, flash it again and try the new route. But the new Firmware with DRM Support should be around the corner very soon.. Maybe better wait for that first
