Google has known about a LOT of the Android suckage for a long time, but nothing is happening. I didn't realize that the calendar was such a disaster too. That is just embarrassing. As I mentioned before, the Google stuff usually worked a-ok - if you do nothing but use gmail and google calendar and google talk, it's probably just fine. For the rest of us? What a disappointment.

Google knew that the Droid would be shipping with 2.0 while everyone else was getting 1.6. So much for being 'open' eh? It's already a disjointed mess. 2.0 was feature frozen when 1.6 was.
