I am thinking of dropping my tour and moving to the Driod when it comes out. I was wondering if there is anyone here who can answer my following questions. Please reply only if you are confident in your knowledge of the andriod OS.
1. Am I correct in assuming that Gmail is PUSH (not pull) mail? I can always forward all my other mail accounts to a gmail account so as long as gmail is REAL TIME (not delayed 15 mins) Push then awesome..
2. Is there any program like tetherberry or PDA net that will allow me to tether my phone to my computer without getting a tethering plan from my carrier? Both of those are one time programs that allow me to use my basic 29.99 unlimited web plan on my blackberry to get internet access on my PC.
3. I notice there are some crazy hacks with the G1 to get it to install apps and store the cache of some programs on the memory card. Will we be able to do something similar (is this process generic for any andriod phone?) on the driod so that we can escape the 256 ram that is present? I have a 8 GB card and only use about 4 GB for music so it would be nice to allocate 2 GB to apps on the card. Is it an easy process?
If anyone knowledgeable can answer these question i will be forever grateful!
Thanks
