Hm. I'm seeing the same thing with a quick colorbars image I created. In the Gallery app, it's got clear banding. In the image viewer built into the ASTRO file manager, it does not.

Must be a bug in the Gallery application.

One commenter on the article says that he thinks the Gallery app is doing some odd compression to make the images load faster, resulting in these issues. I'm hoping Gizmodo will read these responses and correct their article, because if this is the case, then it's simply not a true story. They're comparing apps, not screens.
