I'm assuming you've already figured out how to add widgets to the homescreen? (hold anywhere on the homescreen and it'll let you add stuff)

This is the one thing holding me back from buying a Motorola Android device. Since VZW has changed their new every two contract and done away with one year agreements, I need a phone that will continue to update over a two year period. Most phone manufacturers DO NOT support and update their phones to newer versions of Android after a year of being on the market. I have a Droid Incredible that has been running Gingerbread for months now and it has been rock solid. Why? Because I run cyanogenmod as my ROM.

He looked around and just smiled and nodded with saying "I can't say that's not what I'd do."

Soooooo, yeah, it's coming in July.

Apple’s next-generation iPhone may launch even later than September this year, as has previously been rumored on numerous occasions. Apple has stuck to a summer launch for each new iPhone model released thus far, but the February introduction of Verizon Wireless’ iPhone 4 and the imminent release of the white iPhone 4 do suggest Apple may deviate from its previous schedule. Concord Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo cited supply chain checks in a note to investors on Monday, in which he suggests Apple’s iPhone 5 won’t enter mass production until September. This would make a September release highly unlikely, and would instead mean the new smartphone might launch in October or later. Ming-Chi also reiterates earlier rumors that the iPhone 5 will be an incremental update, and will feature Apple’s new A5 processor, an 8-megapixel camera and a Qualcomm radio like the one found in Verizon Wireless’ iPhone 4. Industry watcher DigiTimes recently issued a report calling any iPhone 5 manufacturing timelines to this point “baseless,” claiming Apple has not yet discussed the device or any production timing with its manufacturing partners.
