It won't pull in FB pictures. It will use pictures set from the phone. Not sure about GMail pictures but I think it does those.
If you visit the forum, it's a known "issue" but he says he can't access FB pictures so it'll stay that way. They link an app on the forum that syncs FB pictures in a different method than the FB app and the People widget can read those.

It integrates Facebook (Facebook), Twitter (Twitter), Buzz and Foursquare (Foursquare) accounts into a single application. Updates are color-coded and presented in a single, blended column. Theres also a Me column for reviewing all your Twitter @replies and comments and like for your Facebook posts.
To give you an idea of what the app will look like, here are the signin and Home screens:
And weve got to hand it to the developers and designers at TweetDeck (TweetDeck) for giving Android users even more fun and useful features than are currently available on the iPhone version of TweetDeck, which doesnt yet support Foursquare or Buzz. But this Android app is a clear signal of where the companys Apple-focused applications will be headed.
Nice. These apps are starting to have similar look and feel Twitter, the New Facebook and this look really polished.
Also Facebook had an update this morning...seems to be running very snappy now.

Tweetdeck is on Android..... Sweeeeeet! I used to use the desktop version a lot when I was into my tweeting, but its a pretty decent program in itself. Will definitely check it out.

Still redirecting to the browser for things that can be seen inside the app, and links still don't properly work (leading you to a profile instead of a certain status update). I think the only reason it works better is because they stripped out the contact sync feature :lol

Not showing for me since I updated this morning.
Edit: double-checked and now that option is part of the Data Sync area of the main settings menu instead of an option inside the app. Not that I use it anyway, I'd rather use the pics I like best for the contacts and none of mine have the correct phone/mail info in their profiles.

I wouldn't stay up for this. Its not gonna be anything super important. Maybe video chat..
These things are usually around 10am, PST. Most of the time they're midmorning.
Edit: Gizmodo says the last time they got an invite like this to see new mobile services, it was for turn-by-turn navigation. So, something fairly significant could be in the works.

wasn't sure where to post this, since it kind of relates to both hardware and software fragmentation, but here we go

Android Hardware and Software fragmentation (also iOSs)
I found this snippet interesting
though my personal take on it is that the OS jumps aren't as big with all those different versions of iOS, so it isn't as big of a deal.. as android has made some pretty big leaps since 1.5

eh, you can collapse the ios ones into 3 and 4. Counting the bug fixes is really quite silly (and made more sense when i saw the site it was coming from). 1.5 and 1.6 (1.5 big time) are the issues in android. At this point they should just drop 1.5 off as they don't really exist as far as apps go.
This is kind of silly, as the sub-point releases are minor bug fixes (which doesn't affect minimum requirements for apps in the store) and 3.2 is limited to the iPad. 4.0 was just released in late June as well I believe.tabsina said:wasn't sure where to post this, since it kind of relates to both hardware and software fragmentation, but here we go

So, you need to be russian, you need to download it from a non market source, you need to have allowed third party apps to install, and you need to allow something to send sms messages.

as an Android newbie, what are the chances of the "android pads" coming out this year being as nice as the ipad? I'd really like one, but I'm avoiding the ipad for various reasons not worth going into. My hope is that there will be an android one just as slick and that the marketplace will be pretty good by then (It's be nice to have Plants v Zombies and Chaos Rings on there as well).

As far as the apps go, I think android is starting to deliver the good games slowly, but whether it'll be quite as good as the app store by the end of the year is hard to say
As far as hardware goes, I have yet to see anything with as sleek a design (EDIT: just noticed you may not have meant design - I'm sure by the end of they year we'll see something hardware-wise that compares to the iPad) as the iPad running android, though there hasn't really been much shown in the way of hardware

Yeah I was more meaning software wise, I played around with the Archos 5 recently and it's clearly not in the same league, but the samsung one looks more like it. I read there should be some sort of android store news coming soon so maybe they'll get their act together
Also something that would be fantastic.... Steam!

Stuff like this is great but it gets drowned in the sea of Apps.
Andrex, do it!
This is pretty much all Software though. In the next OP, I'll build in better themes support.

android is going get a rocket strapped to its back when x86 versions start coming out.
I could see a steam like thing jumping on then.
really thinking about getting an all in one touch monitor/pc and running gingerbread on it when it comes out for my kitchen.

So it's Voice Actions as part of Voice Search - dictate texts, more commands, combines steps (looking up a place and then phoning, do it with one command).
Also it sounds like we might hear about Chrome To Phone. Which is nice as I like it, but not interesting as... well, it's already out. :/
If only they redid Marketplace website taking advantage of Chrome to Phone.
