It will show you how to get in touch with your specific representatives, show you what bills are being voted on, and how they’re voting. It’ll also track lawmakers’ tweets and give you access to videos, etc.

HTC has promised that the Legend, Wildfire, and Desire would all be getting Android 2.2 sometime in Q3 of this year, and by the looks of some tweets by one of the directors at HTC Europe, Mark Moon.

However I wonder if this is just for European HTC units or worldwide.

On a Vlog on youtube, Dell’s Kevin Andrew shows off the Streak running Android 2.1, and Dell’s custom skin. Dell is still promising to go to Froyo (2.2) but has not confirmed whether or not 2.1 will be offered as a short term upgrade.

It just doesn’t get any easier than this. Hey, most of us want rooted phones. Personally, I have have used screenshot apps, CPU regulators, and a wifi tethering app (my wife was very thankful that I could help her iPod Touch get online when there was no wifi) on my phone, all because I have root access. If you’ve followed the launches of Android phones, you’ve seen that, usually within a week or two after launch, a phone gets rooted. But sometimes that not a very easy process, like with the Droid X. Well, until now.
