Android SDK And Phone To Be Update To 2.0.1 Before The End Of 09

The Robot Droid — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 11:30:59 +0000

Over on the Android Developers site they announced a update for the SDK which will also include a update for the devices. Developers are being asked to test there application right away to insure compatibility.
We have heard that a update for The Droid By Motorola is to be released 12/10/09, but that is not direct from Android as far as we know. The fix's for the phone is said to be for WiFi and Camera issues being reported. We havnt seen any of these issues yet. That doesn't mean they don't exist. Whenever a new piece of technology is introduced issues arise.

The Android based operating system has a entire community working on a problem. Being open source anyone is welcome to work on updates and contribute.
Here a excerpt from the Developers Site. Please go check it out. "Android 2.0.1 is a minor update to Android 2.0. This update includes several bug fixes and behavior changes, such as application resource selection based on API level and changes to the value of some Bluetooth-related constants. For more detailed information, please see the Android 2.0.1 release notes.

To differentiate its behavior from Android 2.0, the API level of Android 2.0.1 is 6. All Android 2.0 devices will be updated to 2.0.1 before the end of the year, so developers will no longer need to support Android 2.0 at that time. Of course, developers of applications affected by the behavior changes should start compiling and testing their apps immediately." LINK You can read the Developers Site Headlines below.

Verizon Droid Commercial Calls Phone A Robot Not Smartphone

The Robot Droid — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:56:36 +0000

I say it every time I post these video's from Verizon and Droid. They will most defiantly make it to the Best TV Commercial Awards somewhere. They are just to cool for school. Verizon is really putting the boots to the iPhone commercials.
Though I like iPhone commercials and iPhone for that matter these videos really look technical and get to the point. In my opinion there is no comparison. They are diferant Cell Phone. iPhone is all fun and Android Phones are about the openness of the Android Project, capability, and adaptability.
Droid is more of a robot just like Verizon says. Users have been using it 24 hours a day since the release. Droid Does Everything.
