Hmmm, all they've really done is implemented device-wide search and beefed up the market. Rather disappointing tbh.

The device wide search looks fairly awesome tbh. I am excited about that

And most importantly made the resolution interchangeable, so no more feeble 320x480 resolution, instead a proper 480x800 resolution.

Also the phone in the Youtube video is likely to be the updated HTC HD, which should mean an easy android port for existing HD users.

I've been using device wide search today on Cyanogen's rom and it owns ass

For those of us who haven't rooted our phones, will we have to wait for Vodafone to release an update for our Magic's?

No idea on that front, I would assume so though!

I had hoped that the update to the market app would add a filter. It would be so much nicer to sift through new apps if you could get it to ignore all the soundboards/themes etc.
