Because it's not good yet. I've tried it and it does some things better, but is slightly slower and much buggier (2 lockups of the tablet -- which I consider to be an Android problem too)

Dune 2 is favorite Tower Defense + Tank Rush game. Last month I played Dune 2000 Ordos to Level 8 (it's quite hard, or I suck more than I did in the youth). There's also a "Super Dune 2" somewhere on the net for more difficulty.

I still have the HTC Hero (EU). I put custom rom on it (currently VillainROM, I think) and it's still usable. And it's bulletproof, even more than most Nokias which would always chip in the corner if you dropped (had 3 different ones). I dr
