thanks for the help :)

1. Motorola confident 4th Qtr Android devices on track despite Donut slippage. Says recent checks indicate Donut release modestly behind schedule.
2. Says features expected in the Donut release include CDMA support, universal search, text-to-speech, automated backups, a redesigned camera application, several new widgets and possibly multi-touch support. Says Android has recently released the Donut software to developers, the software not yet ready for commercial launch.
3. Motorola remains confident its 4th Qtr phones (including CDMA) are on track for launch. Motorola thus must either be convinced of the Donut timelines or have developed CDMA support independently.
4. They expect a low to mid tier smartphone, possibily the “Scholes” to be launched with T-Mobile and at least one or two high teir smartphones, the “Motus” and /or “Morrison” launched with Verizon and possibly AT&T.
5. The delay in the Donut version, according to analyst (which was preceded by Cupcake, and to be followed by Eclair and Flan), illustrates the “challenges of outsourcing an OS to 3rd party sotware vendors.” He is merely observing that software release schedules are not under Motorola’s control.
6. By the way, talking Motorola, did anyone notice the Blur Social Networking Software (from engineer from Good?) they plan to introduce for social networking that is likely to include some push/NOC functionality. The software via a NOC would gather and then push updates from multiple email accounts and social networking sites onto the device, to help Motorola differentiate their phones.

Comments?

I have tried alot of things and there are just to many times where my g1 runs like molasses

I would take snappy performance over multi touch any day of the week

The compatibility option is only there for development purposes so will be gone in the final release, and is irrelevant for current devices anyway.

@Al Sutton: Donut is the branch that will be used to release the next version of Android, there is no denying that. But that next release does not have a version number yet and as such there is no Android 2.0. The fact that some sites decided Android == Donut 2.0 does not make it true. Nobody from Google and/or the Android team ever said such a thing.

The reason why everyone is talking about “donut” coming to the G1 is because the install base is MUCH MUCH larger. The G1 has been almost out now for 1 year. The Mytouch 3G isn’t even out in the states.
