Faster Performance – Multimedia content now has a lower CPU consumption rate, while support for more powerful 3D Graphics enables an enhanced mobile gaming experience.

Upgraded Usability – The user interface has been improved, enabling faster access and control and a more intuitive user experience. Users will also benefit from improved copy-and-paste functionality.

Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate) will never see the official release. AT&T will make sure of that.

Negative comments are negative.

Meh, it isn't really much better...had it on my droid for a while now, and I am thinking of going back to Froyo because the custom interfaces are more polished and it uses the battery less. The only advantage is Netflix...and you need to be rooted to get that, and if you are rooted, you can already get 2.3 anyway.
