Speaking of Android, Google released a new SDK (sdk v0.9_r1) a few hours ago. Some features that caught reader plusminus' eye include:

The new Desktop-Style Home-Screen (moveable and customizable shortcuts. Completely slideable once to left and right!)
StreetView (awesome implementation, can use Compass if available! Feels just like on the Desktop.)
The browser (feels faster)
SMS-Sending
Ringtones for Contacts
New Dialer (+ Calculator)

You can find 31 additional screenshots here.

VentureBeat also has posted an analysis of the Android SDK.
