Some of the things that I have noticed are: -The ability to clear the data & cache from google maps using Settings>applications>manage applications>maps. -You can now see your pictures using google maps. Go to gallery>camera pictures then open the pic you want and press menu>more>show on maps. it uses the gps data it collected when you took the pic (if you selected that option) to show where it was taken in google maps. Also when viewing a picture you have zoom controls, directional arrows and Set as, Share and Delete all viewable without pressing menu. -obviously new widgets, market, and camera layout -It could just be me, but it seems like the phone actually runs quite abit faster than it used to. Almost more efficiently. All 3 G1’s on my account have recieved it now. Some of the things that I have noticed are:

I came on the web to see what 1.6 is. The only thing I can really tell is that there are more and different looking widgets. Yes, I got the update on the 10/4 as well.
