Android has to be adjusted to run on different handsets because of the hardware differences (chipset, camera, extra features). Now that the code is released, the authors can start adjusting their ROM to work on this device.

These dual core phones for are fine top gadgets now for their screens but I'd not let even my buggy 2x till a real performance boost gets out...
