I’ve just read an announcement that the Android SDK 1.5 will be released around the end of the month. In the mean time developers can get access to a pre-release version to enable them to start using the Android SDK 1.5 during development. It looks like a bunch of Cupcake mods will be made available in SDK 1.5 of Android. Some of the new features in Android SDK 1.5 include soft keyboards, home screen widgets, live folders, and speech recognition.

A private group of developers called “cupcake” is poised to merge into the next release of Google Android a bunch of fixes, changes and enhancements. Google is in the process of merging the private branch into mainstream that will take the changes into the public mainstream. I’m particularly happy to hear that video capture and A2DP bluetooth will now be available.

Our new T-Mobile G1 toy will not be complete if we won’t be able to hack it using the latest SDK. So just in sync with the just release T-Mobile G1 mobile phone, Google has released version 1.0 of the Android SDK. You can get it from the Android download page. Even though, I haven’t got a T-Mobile G1, I’m downloading the SDK right now.

Just read some leaked info of the very, very soon to be released T-Mobile G1 Android-based mobile phone. Looks like it will have a 3.1 megapixel camera but no video capture. No stereo bluetooth either. Supports only 65K colors on a 480×320 screen. No corporate email and gmail is required. You can read more at the TmoNews post.

Google has recently released their own web browser (albeit in beta) and already a security flaw has been found. It’s called Chrome? as in the Mozilla Firefox Chrome? Personally, I think it would have been better if Google has put the resources into Mozilla’s mobile web browser. I’ve downloaded a copy of the web browser to try it out.
