any day now would be great. "near future" was four months ago when they said that, then about two weeks ago when it was leaked, they also said we would be getting it in the "near future". so does that mean next year? the year after that?

Near future is a reference to time, and according to Steven Hawkins (A Brief History of Time), it can be argued that the measurement of time is not constant, but rather subjective based on the distance between objects. The farther away objects are, time may be measured on a slower scale. The slower time moves, then the longer it may seems for someone with a different perspective (location). Therefore, since we are here and they are there, "near future" in this scenario likely doesn't mean squat.
(I likely butchered that shorthand explaination, but it's been a while since I read it! )
I liked trying the DK Froyo build from 2 wks ago due to more colorful and the Apps To SD capability. Eclair (2.1) seems like a class project or beta, with the monochrome settings and messages, etc. Froyo actually gets up to 2010 interface expectations I think.
But I went back to 2.1 because of the things that 2.2 broke, such as Bluetooth car kit, freeze-ups, etc.
Haha, and "2010 interface." You make it sound like the look & feel of the Android interface feels like it's a year behind, which is probably true.
I personally think that android needs some MAJOR user interface work. MAJOR. At this point in technology lifetime, android should look more polished than it does. Right now, it just looks like a bunch of menus put together with little organization. Not to mention that it needs to look better. Like iOS or WebOS. Those two systems look polished. All the little animations,.the way the menus are organized, the manner in which one interacts with the system is just a lot more entertaining. I enjoy it. Android should have that. I'm hoping that by version 3.0, Mattias Duarte has had some serious control of UI in android. He will do wonders if given the ability. Espcially with the HORRIBLE multitasking interface on android.
^^^ agree.... A more refined UI (klike what they did with the gallery) and hardware accelerated OS would really stab the dagger in the heart of all opposed
BTW my girlfriends Intercept got the official froyo update... cant help to chuckle a bit for epic owners
