Android 1.6 Donut Rollout and Features
Author Thomas
Android, the operating system that powers the G1, MyTouch 3G, and other smart phones is now rolling out. Although the update is in the beginning stages, the roll out seems to be better managed compared to the Cupcake update (delays, delays, and more delays).
This update dubbed 1.6 and inspiring owners of the Android phones to go out and purchase donuts in celebration has a lot going for it, and really helps mature the OS, and especially the Marketplace (App Store) interface.
Although tagged as a “minor” update, there are some pretty awesome features that have been added to the phone.
- Updates to the quick search box
- Camera updates
- The Android Marketplace gets a great face lift
- Virtual Private Network ability
- Indicator for battery usage
- Text-to-speech engine that will blow your mind
