I remain a little concerned about how we will get *updates* to closed- source apps that thus far have only been distributed via OTA. (For instance the Donut version of Market.)
It'd obviously be easiest if Google would distribute these updates on the Market like they did with Maps, but I do use the google apps and would hate to be stuck with RC29 versions of them forever if I choose to use CM ROM's. Just curious if this aspect is being thought out...
