The quality is pretty much what many have come to expect from 720P video taken by a camera phone, though it certainly won’t be blowing any minds. What may be blowing peoples minds is the fact that Google apparently has a bus of its own, as shown in the photo below, which was also captured by the Nexus S:
Hopefully the bus is taking More >

Apple doesn’t want you to turn your Springboard horizontally because that would require an icon layout adjustment, just like on the iPad. Besides, the iPhone has a much smaller screen and layout adjustment would turn out to be a huge problem to deal
