A noticeable faster OS (yes that means faster than overclocked) means nothing to you? Means something to me though.

Let alone all of the other stuff they added.

Yea they didn't speed up the OS, they added just in time compilation, which only effects programs. The OS is already compiled to machine code.

Again the OS isn't any faster, just the programs that will benefit from JIT. These features are nice, but I will wait for a rom where I can retain my root.

Your right. It's the Dalvik VM which is showing the 450% increase which is really the back bone of Android. This equates to a faster OS not just programs. So while the OS might not be quite that high it will still be faster. That has been proven in Linpack scores on the Nexus One.

Pretty good article about that right here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/05...ut-450-faster/

windows mobile 6.5 roms were available on the tp2 loooong before the official update came out. is it like that for android or does everything have to be official before it can be tweaked?

No. There have been ROMs waiting for Android devices too. It will happen for the Droid once the source is released or once they figure out how to deodex the dump that is out there.

It may be the faster OS precludes the need, at least initially, for overclocking.I am interested in the improvements in the web browser.

Adobe! isnt that enough right there?

I wish the OS was 450% faster in 2.2...haha. I got an iPad and I have to admit that Android simply does not compare to the iPhone OS in buttery smoothness, and I wish it did. The iPhone OS has impressed me so far. I'm not saying it's better, they are just different, both with pros and cons. Anyway, if 2.2 could smooth things out a little I would be very happy.
