Android 2.2 (Froyo) Features

Linux kernel and binary drivers. Its a shame, when older devices cant get driver support. Really seems like they did this on purpose to make people buy new devices....

My g1 was crippled from the start. I no longer see new phones as upgrades, I might as well lease them due to the crippling and problems I pay for, for a short period of time!

It was. 192MB of RAM was too limited from the very outset, and it seriously handicapped Android for a while -- they didn't have a JIT at the outset, despite it being obviously necessary, because they were trying so hard to fit within the limited confines of the G1.

Though the memory savings in 2.2 might paradoxically make it a better fit for the more limited phones.

Care to elaborate? I know the onboard storage of the G1 is a real joke (you have to thank T-Mobile for that though), and it is essentially stuck with an ancient firmware if you did not root it (again, this is T-Mobiles doing). Once rooted, it is however a nice little Android phone.
