    IMVU advertisement up top is really awkward

    Male Japanese anime character slowly kissing the hand of a female character. Then it says "Escape to IMVU". Sounds like a second life thing. Fair enough, but the ad looks like hentai at first. Kinda strange. I refresh the page until the site cycles to a different ad.

    Help No gchat integration?

    Friends often use gmail chat to message me but I can't seem to find any gchat integration in the phone or a google app for it. Seems rather odd that this is missing from Android considering it's a commonly used Google service. Even the Palm Pre has gchat integration. Any suggestions?

    App that displays sorted processes CPU usage

    I'm looking for something like the ASTRO processes manager that shows the current %CPU usage for every app running on the system. The only problem with ASTRO is that it doesn't sort by CPU usage so I have to scroll up and down looking at the % to see what is taking up CPU. A simple app that...

    Better voice dial app?

    One thing conspicuously missing so far is a good voice dialer. The one that comes with the phone isn't great at recognizing and it has the annoying confirm message "do you want to call BLAH" just like phones had in the 90's. As far as I can tell the voice dialer doesn't have an option to stop...
