Oh, so basically they're just now getting around to finishing what they claimed they had before? How convenient.

I had a Helio for about two weeks before sending it back. I'm not bashing Helio or the Drift; they have their strong points but MySpace isn't one of them. The "mobile" MySpace thing was an embarassing joke. When I first got mine, none of the images (not just some, NONE) would render. It was like they stripped the page down to it's barest essentials to fit on QVGA and then were like "Hey, I've got an idea... let's get rid of all these stupid pictures since they just seem to be cluttering up the page anyway!"

About a week into using it, one day they magically started appearing. Even with the images, all you can effectively do is get to your messages and bullentins. The claims on their web site that it's "optimized" and "works faster on your Helio than just about anything else" couldn't possibly be further from the truth.

Like I said, there are plenty of reasons to go with Helio, I just can't believe how much they were hyping the MySpace thing when it turned out to be piece of crap.
