#2Some great stuff in here. I'm hoping a couple of Android's browser quirks get worked out as well with this release.

#3I'm worried about developer-side automatic update. I can think of more than a few times where I wouldn't want such an update, or bad things that a developer could do to a user. As a developer, I'd like it, but I'm not so sure as a user.

From the screenshot (of dubious authenticity) I saw on a different website, it seemed like the automatic updates was a setting that the user controls per app. There are still some problems with automatic updates (as there also are with non-automatic updates), but at least the control is relatively fine-grained.

#6Has there been any update on the Nexus Two rumors from a month or two ago? I want an Android phone and I'm tempted to get the Nexus One, but I don't want it to instantly be obsolete... Recommendations?

I picked up the HTC Desire a few weeks back and I have never been happier with a phone, I would sincerely recommend it. It runs Android 2.1 out of the box.

I have to say, though, it actually looks better in real than it does on the pictures, if looks is anything you care about. Not sure how HTC botched the pictures, can't really put my finger on it.

#9There has been a JIT that can be enabled for testing for a long time now. There being a talk about it doesn't really mean anything re it finally being enabled by default.

I don't think you have much to worry about, the N1 is hardly going to become obsolete the moment a better Android phone comes out. My droid wasn't obsoleted by the N1 and likely won't be obsoleted by an N2 either; afaik there aren't any apps that require an N1 or even run poorly on the Droid.
