No Stay Awake on USB, Voice Action lacking
I'm very disapointed that they removed "Stay Awake on USB" from the settings/applications/development menu. I had this turned on in 2.1 to keep the screen on while using music player or google maps while plugged in during driving. It was a godsend when I found it, since it is very hard to quickly check traffic on googlemaps or skip music tracks when the screen keeps timing out. There is car mode, but there are other apps I'd like to keep awake while driving that aren't available in car mode.
The Voice Action feature is late in coming, since other platforms have had this for a while, and I can't believe it doesn't go to the music player for the "listen to" command. And the lame excuse from google that the devs of the default music player haven't integrated voice action yet...WTF? Aren't they working for google? And no BT voice dialing, when my 4 year old BBerry and 6 year old ericsson had it? Bull****!
I guess I'll just have to start complaining about the wait for 2.2.1! Hell with that! Where's Gingerbread already? I'm prolly gonna flash a rom, or I'll never be able to connect a wiimote to my captivate, along with the other BASIC FEATURES I've lost with the update, err, downgrade.
