Android 1.5, new and improved
A few highlights:
- Version 1.5 introduces APIs for features such as soft keyboards, home screen widgets, live folders, and speech recognition.
- Another site mentioned better camera and GPS performance, support for video recording and Bluetooth stereo.
- Possibility to build for different versions of Android.
According to the Android blog the UI look-n-feel will change, from the very “raw” design in current version, to a more up-to-date look. It will be backwards compatible, to a point, so some applications might need some re-writing. Examples are given.
