A few things to glean from the homescreen. The official Twitter is now built in, much like Facebook was starting with 2.0. (Goodbye, third-party Twitter app market.) The singular apps button is replaced by a slightly wider widget that permanently places the dialer and browser at your fingertips—a minor tweak, but a great one, since they're two functions you want at your fingertips at all times and most Android phones don't have a dedicated phone button anymore (a phone that's easy to call with, crazy). Also, not pictured, there's a new tutorial when you bootup the phone for the first time, with lots of tips from a cute little Android.

I love application mangers. They're where I put my application hay and alfalfa.

Looks pretty sweet, however I currently have a Palm Pre (Sprint) and it seems like the Pre does most of these things already.. I'm no Palm fanboy or anything, I just got the Pre because it was the best phone Sprint had when I last upgraded and it's been awesome. But I could see myself switching to an Android phone in the near future, seeing as how Google seems to be taking over the world and all.
