Android 'Donut' upgrade looks excellent

27 July 2009

Google has released an early alpha version of the upcoming Android update 2.0, dubbed Donut, and XDA-developers are currently working on making it available to all Android phone users.

Among the new updates are:

* Support for CDMA phones
* Text-to-speech
* Loads of new widgets, including one that allows for WiFi/Bluetooth/GPS/Email toggling and Brightness adjustment right from the homescreen.
* Official support for multitouch (This was previously available through hackery - we’re not sure yet if this will be in the final build)
* “Search integrated into everything”
* WPA Enterprise WiFi encryption support
* VPN support
* Automated backups
* “Tons of performance [tweaks]“

The updates look excellent so far, and we will update when the full beta or release is out in the wild.

its not a stupid question @ all if this is the site u mainly go to. most of the devs (developers) working on android are more active on xda-developers.com, another similar site to this, with a bigger focus on GSM networks. this new release can very well assist the devs in porting android much quicker. google search for more info if interested.
