Video: Preview of Cupcake in Action
Apr 28th
This 10 minute video shows a preview of Android 1.5 (aka Cupcake) in action. What you need to know from the video is that the On-Screen keyboard is present as well as video recording and the ability to upload videos directly to Youtube. If you don’t want to wait for the final release to update OTA you might be able to get it ahead of time if you have a Rooted or Dev G1. If you don’t know if you do have a Rooted or Dev G1, then you don’t.

Apr 24th
We have what seems to be the most likely date for a release of Cupcake. Engadget is reporting that T-Mobile Germany has published information about Cupcake on its website, citing how the update will automatically be pushed to your device. The website mentions May as the time-frame, but considering that the HTC Magic is due out on May 5, Cupcake may be out right around that time. See T-Mobile’s Germany website for more.

Apr 22nd
Palringo is an awesome Instant Messenger. There’s many versions available ranging from Windows Mobile to a desktop version for Windows. One good thing about Palringo is you don’t need to use some 3rd Party IM login, you can just create one for Palringo. Most versions have Push To Talk (PTT0 including the desktop version. You can leave voice messages for your alternate Palringo ID on your desktop computer if you wish. The Android version doesn’t have PTT yet but it’s coming soon. You can download Palringo through the Android Market or the other versions from Palringo.com

Apr 22nd
This is getting exciting. We have uncovered more pictures of what we suspect to be the Wing II, also known as the HTC Rhodium/Touch Pro2. This all is inline with what we’ve seen so far…the leaked USA Touch Pro2 ROM, and then we saw the Wing II pass through the FCC. The images show a keyboard with no embed European characters, which is only characteristic of a US-destined device. Hit the jump for more pictures! More >
