Android 1.5 Update For The T-Mobile G1 Next Week

on 05/06/2009 14:41 PDT

T-Mobile G1 users in the UK already have access to the Android 1.5 update, but U.S-based customers will have to wait until next week, says a T-Mobile representative: “T-Mobile USA is excited to offer its T-Mobile G1 customers new software updates, including Android 1.5. Starting at the end of next week”. Here are the updates highlights:

Virtual keyboard (portrait/landscape)
Video recording
Uploads to YouTube and Picasa
And much more

We’re glad that they fixed the lack of QWERTY keyboard as it was a bit idiotic. There’s a ton of new features and APIs, so check the Android release page for a complete list. [via T-Mobile]

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
