Probably the first thing i found in the phone that really made me go "wow", (not very cultured regarding top alternative phones) was the native media player, continuing to play a movie where i left before. And being able to play almost any movie format didnt exactly lowered that impression.

About friends,probably would depend on which one.

For the ones that play with cameras, fcam&hdrcamera would certainly impress them, specially with an introduction of what is hidden behind.

Running Android, Palm OS (with Garnet VM), and some the gaming machines emulators will work for others.

Doing the linux standard stuff, running top, ssh, mc, firefox, and how the desktop shows/interacts with multitasking will be interesting for the remaining ones.

And of course, doing all of this with max screen brightness, and then showing them batterygraph will certainly impress all of them. With big power comes big respon^H^H^H^H^H power comsumption.

I love these threads because I always find some apps I missed!

As for the topic, I think google talk video, voice, and text chat is pretty cool. And you get to demonstrate how integrated all the communications are.
