Google have released elements of Android OS 2.0 Donut to the developer community, and the changelist is already prompting excitement. Among the differences already noted are multitouch and gesture support, together with CDMA compatibility opening up the possibility of Android devices on US networks like Verizon and Sprint.
There’s also improved universal search, automated backups and what developers are already calling a huge amount of performance tweaking that should hopefully see the platform running more smoothly even on existing hardware. More technical issues have been tweaked, too, with WPA Enterprise encryption support together with VPN functionality.
It seems Google and HTC have been thinking along the same lines, too, as one of the most visible changes is the connectivity bar in the above screenshot, which allows for one-touch homescreen control over WiFi, Bluetooth and other connections. The first hacked ROM suitable for the G1 has already been prepared, though be warned: core aspects such as network connectivity do not work, and this is really a build for early testers rather than those looking for the most functionality from their Android devices. Such users should wait a while, as the frontline devs are promising new versions of OS 1.5 Cupcake with elements taken from 2.0 Donut.

this is another thread, stating that the donut 2.0 has been released to devs.
" cyanogen. Donut *is not* Android 2.0. We don't know what it is. It's just "donut". http://bit.ly/3Ks8uI
about 1 hour ago from web "
but thats ok.
got milk?
Is Donut 2.0?
Idk I believe it, we've been saying this is the next major update since cupcake so it only makes sense. If we were on 1.5 and got that security update we're obviously getting closer to 2.0 and this Donut is a large update.
And besides since we've herd rumors that this will be 2.0
Either way I'm just going to get sick of hearing people say for fimrware xx.x [Donut] everwhwere :|
but thats ok.
got milk?
some article about donut you post doesnt do anything for the site
JS
but thats ok.
got milk?
this thread..links to a news page with the SAME INFO
as this thread you started BEFORE this one
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f...updated-21781/
you're staff...you close multiple threads over the same topic. I see it happen.
you are still missing the point but whatever man, leave your own thread open as well as this one.
and for the record, I never started a thread that got closed, because I don't make multiple thread posts
The only choice I have is to create a Talkback thread or not; if I do the latter, then the frontpage article has no comments provision. Then new visitors to the site - who generally come in via frontpage articles linked either from Google or other Android blogs - won't find their way into the forum. I could say "Go here to comment" and link to the existing thread, but past experience tells me that people simply won't take that extra step.

no because its possible already.
...How is this possible? I doesn't work in my BRAND NEW 2010 Mazda3. Making calls works but playing music does not. Any ideas?

Your owner manual for the radio/car should tell you if that's supported; otherwise the dealership should know.
