Other than the faster termination I've not seen any benefits of the new emulator. I had Epocrates running fine on the last release, but when I install it on this release, I can't connect to the GVM and lose all my installed apps. In addition, it seems to crash about the same as the earlier release with some apps. It simply disappears when running some apps and loses all information that was recently entered. I may have to go back to the earlier release if I'm to get Epocrates to work. Basically, whenever I try to hotsync it appears to work but then all my apps are messed up. Hotsync was problematic before, but I did get Epocrates to install (requires hotsync). Any one have any better luck with this release?
