As others have already pointed out there are a lot of technical problems which need to be sorted out before something like this could be viable.
My guess is it will never happen.
Regarding your engine power vs speed limit comment: it's not just about maximum speed, acceleration matters also.

You should read some of his posts on the 5series.net forum (the link is a few posts up).
There is nothing defensible in his behavior. As someone already mentioned it was a heavily populated area with a school near by.
His answer on the forum was that he is careful when driving and that he made sure the road is clear before pulling the stunt. That comment alone should give you an idea about his total lack of maturity.
He even managed to crash his car a few weeks after the speeding incident. Enough said.

Read the post right above yours ... the european version of Droid (Milestone) cannot be flashed with a custom ROM. And it's already been a few months since it launched.
Maybe it has an eFUSE, maybe it doesn't ... you still can't root it.
Besides, Motorola acknowledged the fact that some of their phones are (will be) locked down and even recommended getting a nexus one instead, if you want to hack your phone.

I noticed a change in the behavior of the proximity sensor on the 3G after updating to iOS4.
Let's say I enter the phone app to place a call. When the call ends the phone app comes back up, but the proximity sensor is still active (although I'm not in a call anymore).
If I exit the phone app the proximity sensor deactivates.

I call shenanigans.
On my 3G the slashdot site slows to a crawl and is unusable with all its fancy ajax controls. I tried changing my settings, but nothing seems to work.
Maybe it's better on a 3GS as it has double the amount of RAM and a faster processor.
