Android Version 1.5 User Interface Improvements

Following on from Monday’s early look at the Android 1.5 SDK, the Android Dev Team have now unveiled a number of new UI framework changes that are included in the new version 1.5 of the Android platform.

It appears that the Android designers have spent a fair bit of time refining and polishing up the appearance of the open source operating system.

Currently the Android 1.5 version is not available for installation on handsets, but Android developers can download the 1.5 SDK from the Android developer site.
