Donut Arrived This Morning: Very First Impressions

After three days of waiting (I'm horrible) I woke this morning to a notification screen on my Android MyTouch device that a new system upgrade was available, did I want to install it, wait and install later or skip it.  I choose install and the software began to download accompanied by a familiar gas guage showing the progress.  It took about 3-5 minutes to download and the system restarted.  After the regular green "My Touch screen I got the pulasating "Android" letters.  They usually take a longish time to go away, but this time it seemed much longer than usual.  Finally the system booted up.  Nothing looked different, so I tapped "Market".  Sure enough, there was the new market, very clean and pretty.  I switched to the new battery viewer in setup under phone stats.  Of course nothing had been using the batter yet, I let it upgrade while it was still plugged in.

I switched to the new camera.  Very spiffy looking and it came up quickly.  There is a toggle switch to change to the video camera.  When I did that however it asked me if I wanted to use the regular video camera or "Qwik", a program I have installed.  That was when something odd happened.. The drawer that normally pulls out from the bottom to show you apps was now on the right side.  It pulled out like you'd imagine it would, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to go back to the bottom.  It didn't seem to be orientation dependent (which would be nice).  Finally I restarted the camera app and went through the same procedures and the drawer reset itself.

We'll have to mess with this.  Was this a bug?  A strange side effect from Qwik?  A feature I'm not grasping how to manage?  We'll see.

Sounds fun. I kinda envy your much-more-open-no-need-to-jailbreak phone.
