The Android 2.0 in the emulator is a bare-bones system, but many of the new features are there, including the new hardware support. I picked one of the larger screen resolutions for the second AVD I created. It fills most of the screen on the PC.
As you can see from the screenshot, the new Contacts app allows you to kick off apps related to the pieces of contact information you have for each contact. For example, if you have an email address for the person concerned, you'll be able to touch the email icon and send them an email. The Contact entries for each person are many, including phone, email, IM, Postal address and several others. This could be quite powerful.I'm focusing on actually writing something (learner level) to run on the phone, so will get back to that.
[2009-11-03 Update: Some additional screenshots]
Some new icons for the usual basic services. As mentioned above in the main post, the contacts have been enhanced.
The app tray contents.
The browser has been enhanced. Looks better IMHO.
