Android Creampuff release set for June
BELLEVUE, Wash. -- April 1, 2009: A T-Mobile spokesperson revealed to ZDNet today that this month's highly anticipated Android Cupcake upgrade will be followed quickly by a new version, code named Creampuff. Current G1 owners will be able to get the new version for free on June 9th. According to the spokesperson,
"When Apple released the iPhone 3.0 update, we had to juggle our plans a little. The next version of Android after Cupcake was originally going to be called Donut, followed by Eclair, Fudge, and GummyBear. But now the new Creampuff release will fill the void while we're waiting for Donut."
Creampuff will nave a number of innovative features including:
- Support for the new A5DP Bluetooth standard, for realistic 5.1 surround sound
- Tethering via Bluetooth and WiFi
- USB host support for keyboards, external drives, and EEG
- Root access available by a switch in the user settings
- An expanded Android Market that allows developers to use descriptions up to 450 characters long instead of the current limit of 325
- A new audio codec especially designed to compress farting sounds by 95%
"Creampuffs taste so much better than cupcakes," says Android developer Joey Sochacki. "The iPhone has no chance to survive."
