I just replaced my potop install with openvpn. It is relatively easy to set up, and once working it is more secure, and much. much faster. From my completely unscientific, anecdotal observations, about 3 times faster.
I will get around to writing a full howto in the next week or so.
I was given an Google ION to play with. It is the developer phone from the 2009 Google IO Conference, basically an HTC Magic with some developer stuff enabled. I really liked it.
The OS is nice, I upgraded to the OpenEclair ROM to give 2.1 a try. It was way to slow on the Magic but it gave me an appreciation for where google is going, and I would love a Nexus One. I also tried rolling my own android ROM and it was surprisingly easy.
I installed the Cyanogen ROM. It was nice. Fast and Stable. My problem is simple. The Magic has a fairly small screen and the default Android fonts are tiny. I can’t use it. After 5 minutes, my eyes hurt and I can no longer focus them. My eyes are crap, but I have no problem using the iPhone. So for the moment I am sticking with my iPhone. When the Nexus One finally makes it to Australia, I will get one I think.
Diego Giagio has built coded a Linux network driver to allow USB tethering with an unmodified iPhone. The source and more info can be found at: http://giagio.com/wiki/moin.cgi/iPhoneEthernetDriver.
