The Google Android dev team have announced the release of an 'early look' at the next version of the Android platform.
The new version 1.5 is based on the
Cupcake branch of the open source operating system and promises lots of improvements over the current version.
Version 1.5 introduces APIs for features such as soft keyboards, home screen widgets, live folders, and speech recognition. Along with support for video recording, Bluetooth tweaks, and better integration with many of Google's online services. The user interface will also see improvements for a lot of the system's features.
According to the Android developer site, the final Android 1.5 SDK will be made available "around the end of this month" with no indication as to when consumers can expect to receive a similar 'over the air' update for their
T-Mobile G1 or
HTC Magic devices.
