Someone licked the Android Cupcake

Posted by Paul Foty in January 23rd 2009  

There is an update coming soon for Google Android phones and the details are starting to leak out.  Aaron La has posted the following as well as few screen shots.  Make sure you check out the photos on his blog.

  • New Local Setting Page – Gives you option to pick different locales and pick different text inputs.
  • New Option to view running and third party applications – An option to view running and third party applications from the normal application list. Does not provide a way to terminate them.
  • New windows opening/closing animation effect – a new popping effect when windows are opened/closed.
  • New default notepad – a very simple and ugly default notepad.
  • New Global Time application – not sure if it will be provided by TMobile but it’s just a rotating earth and I couldn’t get it to do anything else.
  • New Spare Parts Application – Once again not sure if the official version will have this, but it provides a number of extra settings such as setting windows animation and transition animation speed, font size, end button behavior and etc. It also has a “display rotation” option which supposedly should allow auto-rotate base on orientation across the entire os, but it is not currently working.
  • New Virtual Keyboard – The virtual keyboard will pop up on every edit box. I didn’t feel any haptic feedback but I am thinking that it’s just not there on the example keyboard. Because the phone does not auto-rotate (an option exists but it doesn’t work), it’s very hard to type on it. The sample keyboard also does not provide auto-corrections.
    Slightly better looking buttons with more shadow.
