Android “Donut” makes its first delicious appearance, packed with new toys
- moe 17y agoI'd say "packed" is a bit of an overstatement. Here's the list: * Support for CDMA phones (Hello, Sprint!) * 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]“ It's good to see progress, but that's hardly earth shaking... As a G1 owner my list of priorities looks quite different, too. I'd prefer if they fixed the outstanding bugs in core functionality and added a calendar that deserves the name. Multitouch, well, can't say I ever missed it.
