Seems like there's been a lot innovation/development for Android this fortnight but we've been blinded by the N9's shoulda/woulda (or maybe we miss CC too much!)
Firstly a Live Wallpaper which makes everything float like in space. Pretty neat!

And a game which I'm sort of addicted to:

The ability to now shoot panorama photo's
http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...n-sony-phones/
A new benchmarking app from ChainFire, they say is a better representation of a device's performance:

We also have someone from xda-developers who has modified the launcher from the Galaxy phones to present you with Touchwizz 4.0 He adds many features and makes it faster than Samsung's execution and its able to be used on most Android devices!
Now everyone brags about how it is an iPhone copy, but I think its truly intuitive so I don't care if it looks like iCopy and I do prefer it to HTC's Sense which is weirdly-laid out.

Next a very cool, and dear i say it necessary Launcher: The Honeycomb launcher. It's the best immitator I've seen yet, feature-full, and promise of other better additions in the future. I have a feeling some members from here will definitely give it a try on their Samsung Galaxy Tabs (let me know how it runs):

The kernel source for the ASUS Transformer is available, which means better kernel = better custom OS
http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...r-transformer/
The headphone issue has just been resolved
http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...s-transformer/
CM7 is now supported for the Motorola Droid2/Droid2WE/Milestone2. Its a great device, but its locked bootloader meant too many hassles to get custom firmware, perhaps Motorola will learn?
http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...oid-2-support/
The Atrix is looking more and more like a possible upgrade for those tinkeres with the addition of 5-finger-multitouch:
http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...ized-try-this/
A fix for those who have wifi issues (no thanks to Moto)
http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...ome-countries/
And a (rumoured) promise of unlocking the bootloader at the expense of your warranty (totally worth it):
http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...future-update/
The HTC HD2, the phone that refuses to die now lives on with a new custom OS based on Sense 3.0 and so far most things work!
http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...g-720p-camera/
And for those who bought the Samsung Wave, its basically a Galaxy S i9000 with a better build quality, smaller 3.3" screen and Samsung's "Bada OS". It costed half the price of a regular i9000 which made it a smart buy, but everyone was hoping for a port of Android.
Seems like its being served cold/late, better than never I guess:
