I'm running Android 2.2 (Froyo) on my HTC Desire now for a few days, and I must say, it runs smooth, fast, and very nice. I'm missing out on a few features still atm. (portable hotspot e.g.) but I'm far ahead of the official HTC Desire firmware :-). Some teasing screenshots:

Edit: According to Google the leaked 2.2 image is not the real and ready 2.2 and is not supported by them (just to mention).

Alright! I got CoPilot Live working on my Android Phone. Thanks ALK for this lovely product! Some screenshots:

We have a winner!!

Sorry Gert

A nice post about google gadgets:

And me using them:

The image is clicable clickable for a full-format version ;-).

P.S. A few features that I think should be in google-gadgets (and I think screenlets have them!):

• Make gadgets sticky (show up on all desktops)
• Have the option to hide some gadgets in the compiz gadget layer, some not (maybe create 2 window classes? So you can choose 1 of them to be in the gadget layer...)

UPDATE

Tom explains how to integrate google gadgets into the screenlets application. This allows you to have the 2 missing features of google gadgets (by using screenlets) AND using the official/non-official google gadgets.

Anyway, I do hope to see a new version of google gadgets soon (it is currently in beta) because it looks a little bit more slick to me then the screenlets-manager application :-).

A cool concept, and funny to play with, use google shell-style:
