I purchased a Nexus One shortly after launch, and it did not come with Twitter installed. In fact, the Twitter app didn't exist then.

I _did_ however do a hard reset the other day (ugh...) and all of my stuff was gone. Twitter, Amazon, and Angry Birds Holiday seemed to still be there...

But looking at my phone now, a bunch of other apps that I had downloaded are back, mysteriously. I dunno.

It's a feature. No, really. When you sync your Google account, it redownloads your apps.

That's pretty awesome. I guess it happens in the background?
