ANDROID CERCA

Bluetooth

New features

Support for A2DP & AVRCP profiles.

Significant bug fixes

First connection after pairing always fails on many carkits.
Mini Cooper and some late model BMW cars fail to use Bluetooth or take 2 minutes for Phone Book transfer.

System software

New features

New kernel based on Linux 2.6.27.
Improvements to the wakelock API.
Work to transition to the USB Gadget Framework underway.
Basic x86 support.

Radio & Telephony

New features

SIM Application Toolkit 1.0.
Green CALL button is no longer a shortcut for "add a new call". Thishas been a rarely used feature and confusing if triggered accidentally.
Longer in-call screen timeout when using the speakerphone.
"Show dialpad" / "Hide dialpad" item added to the in-call menu, to make it easier to discover the DTMF dialpad.

Significant bug fixes

An obscure case where the Phone UI could cause the device to not go tosleep on its own. This would happen if user bails out of the in-callscreen by hitting HOME, followed by the call disconnecting remotely.
Don't allow a single tap to open the in-call dialpad. Itis now required to touch and drag it. This makes it much harder toaccidentally open the dialpad by touching the screen with your face.

Developer Tools

New features

Enable handset manufacturers to extend the Android SDK with add-ons. SDK add-ons will include:

systemlibraries to let developers use additional APIs provided by handsetmanufacturers or from other 3rd party vendors that handsetmanufacturers chose to include
emulator system images,skins, and hardware configuration to let developers test theirapplications on their Android implementation

This is work-in-progress. Please note that the latest Android SDK (Android 1.0 SDK, Release 2) is not compatible with the SDKplugin in the new branch, please use ADT 0.8.0. SDK add-on support is planned for future SDK release.
