T-Mobile pushing Android 1.5 update with on-screen keyboard and video recording to G1 users next week!
T-Mobile has officially announced that it will rollout Android 1.5 for G1 customers in an over-the-air firmware update starting at the end of next week. The update includes an on-screen soft keyboard, video recording support, homescreen widgets, performance fixes, user interface improvements, and more.
Android 1.5's on-screen keyboard works in portrait and landscape orientation and users will be able to customize it with third-party keyboards and user dictionaries. Support for video recording has been added, along with stereo Bluetooth support with auto-pairing.
The user interface has been polished system-wide in Android 1.5 with animated windows transitions and accelerometer-powered application rotations. Many of the device's default applications have also been cleaned.
Android 1.5 addresses several performance issues, speeding up the camera start-up time, GPS acquisition, Web scrolling, and Gmail conversation scrolling.
Google applications have been improved in the update, as well. Users can view Google Talk status messages in Contacts, SMS, MMS, Gmail and e-mail. Users can also upload videos to YouTube and photos to Picassa.
