I think you answered your question there. Just because Google (and a lot of other companies too) are releasing beta software like it was production sw, doesn't mean everyone does.

The traditional meaning of beta is that it is very much pre-release software with bugs and other crap in it (debugging code), so I think it's a bit irresponsible to write articles criticising something when the source of the problems are unknown. Submit bug reports* instead and wait for the release software… and if the release software is buggy, then go ahead and complain all you want.

* Seriously, submit bug reports, as I don't think developers have time to trawl the internet for rants about instability in their apps… they are busy coding.

And then I got this reply from Eldar Murtazin from mobile-review.com: "lol, just beginning put more data see more slowdown"
Sorry but I would not listen to what Eldar says too much. He makes very good observations every now and then, but in this particular case he is just bitсhing out of personal spite. For example, in relation to that quote of his, just what "data" does he mean?

I just hope it's because of the pre-release software and beta apps I installed.
As I cannot repeat the same behavior here, my guess is that it is just one or two apps that you have installed. Remove them all using App Manager and then add them one by one, carefully. See what happens.

Actually, there may be another reason for your problems. Could you please run XTerm and type:
df <enter>
there? Then copy and paste the output of that command to this thread.

I don't understand why the standby/locked screen doesn't contain this information. It does on my Blackberry Bold. If you look at a picture of the screen here:

http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_b...tures-2370.php

The top "strip" with info on date/time, missed calls, emails, SMSs, IMs etc listed remains on the Bold even when locked. The light indicator will flash but won't tell you what kind of message or alert you are receiving. Having this info means not having to unlock to see what's arrived (wasn't that an annoyance for iphone users - doubly worse as there's not even an alert light?).

Dunno about message alerts and what not, but the clock on standby / lock shouldn't be a problem considering we have software like that already from Maemo 4. Granted i don't think it's actively developed anymore, but it is possible.

Speaking of which, my Nokia N82 has a faded out clock that can be viewed when the phone is locked.... the message alerts / signal strength / date etc would make it even better, and something over the app-phone.

Android OS has little to compare to Maemo. Its like comparing an airplane to the space shuttle. Android has features, but its boundaries limit it. The Maemo OS is almost limitless.

Not to mention it seems true multi-tasking isn't that great on the Android platform.. ideally Google will be able to improve that though. Though I don't know how much you can given the way its built (java on top of a Linux kernel)

Exactly my point. Android isn't very sophisticated other than its core. Apps will always be super java apps, and nothing more.
