@Casey,

The G1 and any phone that has “With Google” on the back will not have the direct option of getting the HTC Sense UI.

Donut is still in progress but looks to have handwriting text recognition, talk back with language translation, as well the ability to render correctly on multiple resolutions.

will the G1 get the hero’s new android layout in the future or is it exclusively for the Hero phone?

if so what is the Donut update for the G1 going to feature?

@Scribe,

Great point as FLASH “can” run on much less RAM & processing, but to have it run seamlessly for all the FLASH content currently on the web in my opinion its needed.

From the initial feedback I got regarding the FLASH compatible on Android is that it just met the 80% rule – being able to run 80% of the FLASH content on the web.

To run 100% seamlessly in my opinion you would need at least a doubling of the current Android devices RAM and the next generation mobile processors.

I’ve had Flash on my Symbian Nokia E51 for years. It doesn’t need 1G of memory or a faster processor. I believe the NDK which lets the Adobe engineers compile most of their engine to binary is what was required.
