>>I wouldn't describe many of the founding fathers as particularly religious.

Many of the founders disagreed with you.

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."
--Patrick Henry - The Trumpet Voice of Freedom: Patrick Henry of Virginia, p. iii.

"The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God."

--John Adams wrote this on June 28, 1813, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson.

"God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever; That a revolution of the wheel of fortune, a change of situation, is among possible events; that it may become probable by Supernatural influence! The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in that event."
--Thomas Jefferson - Notes on the State of Virginia, Query XVIII, p. 237.

Sell an android 3.0 tablet wifi-only tablet for around $400 and I'll buy one. Not until then. Notion ink almost did that with an Android 3.0 like OS but doesn't seem to be able to handle even a small number of customers. But once the android 3.0 source is out, I assume there will be a ton of cheap competitors and then the game will change.

This feature is really part of the upgrade to the bluetooth stack me thinks. Up until now, there was no way to do voice dialing with Android phones.

No this feature always came with android 2.2 but most reviews didn't cover it for some reason.

I wonder what percentage of android users even know they are using an Android phone? Verizon on the other hand did a great job with the Droid name, to the point I have to describe to my friends that other networks also have "Droids". Google needs to start doing better maybe something fun like working with manufacturers to ship some android green earbuds with every phone and do some Apple spoof commercials with silhouettes of the users dancing.

>>Even my HTC Hero (running Android 1.5) has multitouch built into the basic system apps like the browser and the gallery.
>>The summary should indicate that no other phones have previously had multitouch built into the system apps that Google ships with the stock OS.

If it came with a browser as a basic system app which supported multi-touch but none of the Google apps support it, what browser did it come with? (I would have thought stock chrome or chromimum).
