• Enhanced video capabilities to make it easy for users to record and share pictures and videos, whether via e-mail, MMS or one-click upload to sites such as YouTube and Picasa.
• Support for Exchange, Gmail and most other POP3 and IMAP e-mail services
• Synchronization with Google contacts and calendars
• Instant messaging support for Google Talk, AOL, Yahoo! Messenger and Windows Live Messenger
