1. Flash and microsd stored videos and MP3's aggregate into one view- Nice, since media players like the Zen never did this :)

2. Astro file manager allows you to edit, add and launch files in the flash memory, so app devs should be able to update links to access the space.

3. Just when I thought I figured out the bars and signal issue, I test another Droid with my Inc and both had -64 db, but bars were 4 on Droid and 2 on Inc. The Inc radio bars are on crack.

4. Touch screen is a lot more responsive and "better behaved" using multi-touch than the Nexus. Game emulators are playable. Games like Contra still are not, but games that require less ruthless precision (like Contra) are.

5. GPS on Inc takes a LOT longer to acquire a signal than the G1 or Droid. About a minute longer on my tests on I-75.

6. Sound from 3.5mm is noticeably better both in volume and quality than Droid. Droid was good- Inc is better.

7. Re-tested FM radio and still weak signal compared to my N900 (which is not very strong itself). Almost unsuable, unless within a few miles of the station, or a super-mega watt. The best signal where I live is 98.1 (The Bull). Country music channel though :( Oh well, at least they are also the official KY Wildcat station :)
