sorry, my iphone tethers since 3.0 (depends on the carrier :) the media sync and streaming sound lie an awesome feature.

Considering flash ... I find it sad, that google is actually supporting it. Where is the open standards idea there??

Other than that, I'm happy about the competition. Hopefully makes Apple to include some of this features. Yet, I don't see the UI on Android getting any notable improvements in Froyo :( Maybe I need to play with it, as soon as it's available.

That should be my choice as a user. I love open standards but why is it sad that they would support it if users want it? Why should it be up to Google (or Apple)? Shouldn't it ultimately be up to Adobe and me?

You are right. It's just Google advocates so strongly open standards (check the first 10 min of google i/o keynote)and now they are directly supporting flash in Chrome and Android. imho it's just very inconsistent.

I'm still trying to figure out, if I can just compile froyo and put it on our labs google nexus (I would expect that from an open source mobile phone operating system, ... seems not possible from what I see).

In the U.S. at least, the iPhone does not tether without jailbreaking it.

yes, but it's not an iphone/apple problem, but a carrier issue. Wouldn't be surprised if you cannot tether with Android mobiles on some carriers.

You can tether with other phones on AT&T in the U.S. without problem. It's only the iPhone that appears to have the problem.
