i don't get why anyone cares about the pre anymore, it came out with a big puff of lackluster sauce. android could be cool but also is a lot of fail, its no different than winmo; well it is, but really all the problems winmo has it has.

Copy and paste
Flash
capability to receive images
Capability of recording video
Capability to run multiple processes
background capability

Version 3.0 will include copy/paste, receiving of images/video, and technically the iphone already runs multiple processes, but only the apps Apple allows to. Background is questionable, I think they're probably gona keep it strictly to the lock screen. And as far as the flash goes... do you want a smartphone, or do you want a camera... pick one, how many camera phones you know of actually have a good flash that isn't just some LED light that turns on.

itunes 8.2 was shipped out in the software update in preparation for 3.0 (and inadvertently breaking the jailbreaking process lol)
