Because we need one.
Talk android. Post up QR codes for your favorite programs. Et cetera. And stuff.
I've been bouncing between browsers a lot lately. Opera Mini 5 beta is great except it can't be set as default, which pretty much kills its usefulness. Steel annoys me with it's oddball UI and isn't that fast. The default browser has a s*** bookmarks system. It seems like every browser I try has a major fault...they all just have DIFFERENT major faults. In order to get everything I want I have to use multiple browsers. Retarded.

Also Skype for Android looks awesome (Verizon users only)

Re: The Android thread.
Looks like it's been neutered. It doesn't just use data, it merely calls Skype rather than your contact, and then uses Skype's services to route the call. Great for international calls as technically your phone is only making a local call, which is then routed internationally by Skype. But it's not VOIP and doesn't work like the PC version of Skype. If it let you use your data exclusively to make calls, you could completely bypass the need for carrier minute plans. Which is great for consumers, but I can't see any carrier ever supporting that.
