    I’m still listening to the podcast but I wanted to comment as I listen. I’m glad you guys liked the video. I found it and have played it probably 30 times in the last few days. It is hilarious for sure. I’ve shown it a few people and everyone thinks its funny as well.

    Chris, Don’t you have a Nexus One? Why couldn’t you download the update to your phone? You should have been able to download the file to your phone, use a file explorer like astro to rename the file to update.zip and move it out of the download folder into the main part of the SD card and then reboot into the bootloader. I’ve done all 3 of my froyo updates that way.
