    questions:

    1. How much more ram did each new OS version need compared to the previous?

    2. What is the demand on processor between each iteration i.e. does you device seem to struggle more doing tasks on newer OS versions?

    3. How much internal NAND memory does each newer OS need? Did they require more?

    4. How does top end phones like the nexus 1 handles heavy multitasking i.e. Pc style browsing(6-10 tabs open), music player left running, file manager open, a video player in the background, several IM apps in the background.

    I need this info, thanks in advance.
    I'm sure Google can answer most of these questions, so get googling. Now for question 4. I will say this thing(N1 and 2.2) is multitasking like a beast. At one time I had loads of widgets enabled, music going on, browsing the web, checking email, looking up where I as on Google Maps and some times used Google Navigation, Had stuff monitoring battery and cpu usage, viewing pictures in the 3D gallery and so on. Not once did the phone slow down or hesitate at all unless a buggy app was using CPU.

    Your experience will be VERY different/limited on the G1.

There are a myriad of roms I can run from different devices and they run smoothly, no other, android device can boast that. Like it seems Motorola will be locking their bootloader from now on so custom roms will be a no go on their devices which sucks.

    Long live the N1!!!
    (I found a way to make my phone stay on 100% for two extra hours )

    Bouy next time show some videos, these are not Android fanitics like us. Got to show them proof and what words can not describe

    Here is a video of the Desire 2.1 Rom on the Nexus One:

    As for Motorola blocking anything. They said it's not them but rather the chipset they chose that blocks any unsigned rom from running on their devices. Here is a follow up article on the matter:

    He has yet to fully give me a screen shot of it yet. Even if him could just use the WiFi hot-spot feature to the laptop and use speedtest.net and copy and paste the code here.

    As for the revolution: I will get an android in a few weeks so I will make my assessment then .
    iOs and winmo is already off my list as a symbian replacement, lets see what droid can do.
    I wouldn't use the G1 to do an assessment on Android in general. It's hardware is VERY limited and software, outdated. Though you can flash new roms on it. Please know that performance will suffer due to the limited hardware it comes with ok.

    Anyway just get flashing and researching once you get it. You will have a better experience than the current stock Android it comes with. good luck.

    I chose to ask here because it has some advantages over a static google experience.

    As for the performance I want to actively assess how it will perform on a larger screen tablet/media center interface. Porting some required drivers to the environment might require the expension of more resources and time than on more traditionally based linux platforms e.g. upcoming meego... Still more research need to done on my part though.

    As for assessing android using G1: I first assessed symbian 3 and a half years ago on an outdated 6620 and went on to like it and own more. Its more about the functionality of the os and not how glitzy the ui is, if there are slowdowns I will know where to judge, not the os.
