Cupcake update heading to Google G1 phones?
Ξ December 31st, 2008 | → | ∇ Gadgets |
It might have its faults (let’s be honest, that keyboard isn’t for everyone), but the great thing about the Google G1 phone is the flexibility of its open source Android operating system. And if you’ve got a G1, you just might see a few changes for the good in the coming weeks.
An update to the operating system, codenamed ‘Cupcake’ is ready to go. According to reports, the new software will boost the camera (adding video recording), improve the browser, add an on-screen touch keyboard and generally fine-tune the phone, kicking out any early bugs.
Speaking to Engadget, handset maker HTC has confirmed the updated software will be offered as an over-the-air download, but has yet to divulge a date. Perhaps because that bit is down to T-Mobile. But who knows, you might be starting the new year with a new phone. Well, a much-improved one anyway.
