  Hurray for Bluetooth API and multitouch support.

    I didn't believe it until I saw it here... "MotionEvent can now report simultaneous-touch information for devices that support it. Up to three pointers can be tracked simultaneously." Talk about good news. Maybe Google is taking off the kid gloves now after Google Voice got rejected?

      I believe they still don't include pinch zoom for the same old reasons though. Definitely great news, however.

        Agreed. Even without pinch gestures, multitouch is vital for two-handed games on phones that lack button input.

  Does anyone know if 2.0 will be rolled out to T-Mobile G1 users in the USA? I have heard different opinions about whether the G1 hardware would/could run Android 2.0.

    You hit on a really good point. Will newer versions of Android be backward compatible to older hardware, or will they keep up the pace with the latest and greatest?

      I heard the G1 had too little storage to hold newer builds, but that was before Donut, and Donut works great on my phone.
