I've got an invisible shield for the screen.

Have to second this I bought one as well, although I went slighly paranoid and got the one that also has one for the back and around the keys.

Just don't rush putting it on as it's not that easy

I found it fairly easy to put on (though I had some latex gloves lying around which helped avoid prints under the film), and the solvent they provide is also excellent at helping remove bubbles etc.

I like the silicone case that I bought because its bright orange, and the phone is black, so it just fetches a bit of colour out :)

Russ, There is a video on YouTube of a guy going at the screen of a Nexus One with a pair of scissors. They did not leave a scratch!

Dunno about a piano black case though lol

The Mrs and I both have Nexus One's and she has a protector, i don't. Neither screen shows sign of any wear.

We both have CaseMate Tough cases though :)

Anybody tried the Tasker app?

Amazing what your phone can be set up to do. 7 day free trial before it asks to be validated as the paid version.

Well worth paying for, £3.49 if you allow unknown sources & get it via download or QR Code direct from the website. £3.99 via the market...

Looks like a useful app actually. I might consider purchasing it :)

So, after Honeycomb, what next? Ice Cream?

Sweet dreams

Mr Schmidt also gave a glimpse of Android's future.
"We've had Gingerbread, which begins with a G, then Honeycomb [the first version designed with tablets in mind], which begins with an H so the next one will begin with an I and be named after a dessert," he said.

I heard rumours it would be called "Ice Cream Sundae" but they were just speculative.

Due to the fact that 2.3 and 3.0 are due to fork in different directions, I'm also guessing there will be different naming conventions from that point.

I'm sure a few weeks ago when we used google navigation there was a coffee shop layer. This put icons up so you could immediately see Costa, Starbucks etc.
Now it's disappeared & I can't seem to turn it back on. Any ideas?

If you open the maps app, there's a little square in the top right that looks like paper layered on top of each other its in there I think.

Thanks, I know where to find the layers but this particular one has disappeared.

Ah sorry I misunderstood :)

I don't seem to have as many as I did have... I recently updated my Maps app, have you done the same?
