The bulk of your issues *WILL* go away with the update but you need to get the update onto the sd card on a pc most likely. The d/l file is a 7-zip file that when extacted yields a zip file that will update the IQ for you. Don't extract the second zip, just copy it to the root of the card and then insert it into the IQ.
Apps can be installed the same way; copy the apk to a folder on the sd card and use the new file manager to install.
It took me a while to get used to the weirdness of android but the IQ hardware is solid. The DEC 10 update helps a lot and, hopefully, the upcoming 2.2 update will cover the remaining issues.
Hope this helps.

LLL!
