Support for Android 2.0 has officially been added to the SDK, which means that developers can now go ahead and start using the new functionality of 2.0. For the rest of us here are the major changes:

  • Support for multiple Google and Exchange accounts

  • Third-party "sync adapters" allow apps to tie in to the phone's sync services

  • Quick contact menus for fast access to specific key pieces of contact information

  • Unified email inbox

  • SMS and MMS search

  • Text message auto-delete after a user-defined thread size is reached

  • Significantly improved camera controls with white balance, macro, effects, and more

  • Improved keyboard layout, dictionary, and algorithm based on multi-touch support

  • Double-tap zoom in browser, support for HTML5

  • Bluetooth 2.1 support with addition of OPP and PBAP profiles

  • "Better" graphics hardware acceleration


Android 2.0 Screenshots


With Sony Ericsson's first Android handset just round the corner many will be wondering whether or not it is going to feature Android 2.0 from the outset. There's still no word on that, but given the enhancements 2.o will bring we can only hope. The first device to use 2.0 will be Motorola's Droid, which is scheduled to be unveiled by American network Verizon tomorrow. Check out the video below to see 2.o in action:

Android 2.0 looks like it's where Android graduates from up and coming to being really top notch.

EDIT: It's an image attached at faq4mobiles.de so the viewer will have to be registered before the images can be seen, bit of a bummer
