What do you think? Editorial: Should your next mobile OS update cost you? -- Engadget
My school uses Blackboard. Not sure how many of us are in school, but there's an app for it. Unfortunately, it requires the latest version of Blackboard on my school's part. And our IT dept. hasn't gotten it. Might have to write an email to them. All my slides for classes are in there. Laptop is better, but having quicker access to them is better.

Including some current phones, all of the following are worth looking into, or waiting for information on...
Available Now:
G2 (T-Mobile)
MyTouch 4G (T-Mobile)
Samsung Continuum (Verizon)
Samsung Epic 4G (Sprint)
Due for imminent release:
Motorola Droid Pro (Verizon)
Motorola Droid 2 Global (Verizon)
HTC Merge (Verizon)
Rumored:
Samsung "Nexus Two/Nexus S"
Droid Incredible HD
HTC Scorpion
HTC Speedy
Personally I would hold out for information on the Nexus Two/Nexus S, since it's going to be the first phone to ship with Gingerbread.

They're about to pull the Droid 2 and replace it with the Droid 2 Global Edition. There are two key differences. The processor in the Global Edition is clocked to 1.2GhZ compared to 1GhZ in the original Droid 2. And more importantly - it has a GSM SIM card slot as well as the inbuilt CDMA, hence the name "Global" edition. You can take it abroad and use local GSM networks wherever you are.
Droid Incredible is the US variant of the HTC Desire, not the HTC Legend. The Legend is closer to a first generation Android device (600MhZ processor, 384MB RAM) whereas the Desire and D-Inc have 1GhZ processors and 576MB RAM.
They'll be releasing the Droid Incredible HD soon, which will be the equivalent of the Desire HD:
HTC - Products - HTC Desire HD - Specification
Same 1GhZ processor, but a bump to 1.5GB internal memory and 768MB RAM plus a 4.3" screen. Rumors suggest the Droid Incredible HD might be the first LTE phone (Verizon's 4G network).
The new Nexus device was scheduled to be announced imminently, but has had some hardware delays. I expect it to be launched pretty quickly though. They'll want to get it out before Xmas to capitalize on that.

It's been speculated that the Nexus One sales were let down by a post-Xmas launch.....since, everyone gets new phones at Xmas. So I'd be VERY surprised if this Samsung device was delayed past Xmas.
Also worth noting that all rumors point towards Gingerbread being announced on the 11th, so some more information about the Samsung device might come along with that.

The Droid Pro is something to look at too. Well, I wouldn't want it, but it's one of the more professional looking Android phones. It resembles the Blackberry very much, physically. I would think it too would have a SIM slot as well since they would expect people to travel with it overseas.
The Continuum looks cool, but the second screen is kinda weird. Not sure if I want that ticker thing on it. But it's not much different from the Galaxy S phones.

we're talking about all these phones coming out and potential third generation android phones.
let's think back to a year ago when the second generation was leading the way. i was approx 6 months into my G1 contract and had only had root for like 2 months, probably on cupcake or donut. now im two android releases super to where official support for the G1 ended. Im looking at jumping from first gen to third gen and then root again, it'll be a better experience this time.
also, i dont think many phones have been pushed to the limit like the G1 has. That's the power of custom roms and open source - and in the process i've learned quite a lot about android.

Some of the 2.2 only stuff actually works really decently on the G1. The new YouTube update being a good example.
