A CupCake for April

So there ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, might possibly be a cupcake update in April.

Or, perhaps May.

Or, maybe not.

Got it. Thanks!

I've got to say, this article is a case of terrible journalism. In the first few sentences of the article, the author simultaneously states that t-mobile "confirms" that cupcake will be released, while quoting an actual spokesperson from t-mo who says it's just a rumor. Truth is, t-mo hasn't confirmed a dang thing, and for the author to say so in the same sentence as a t-mo spokesperson is quoted to the contrary is, well, quite hilarious actually.

Secondly, the author mentions a number of features that are stated not to be in the RC33 update that we all got, including google latitude and voice search. These items are indeed part of that update, as I know most of us can attest since we received it.

I'm sorry to say it, this is a bad article overall. If we're gonna get the rumor mill going, we might as well have an article with some credibility behind it as the catalyst.

if this phone never gets a2dp, i will setup my camcorder in the street, and continuosly run over my g1 and post it to youtube. i will then either go back to winmo or just get me a jitterbug. i'll give it a couple more months. i'm tired of this os anyways. looks aren't everything. the email is from the stone ages. no animated mms? what's the point? i can just send a picture in an email. i can't even get animation on the home screen. that's trivial,but there are so many things about this os that leave me feeling like i got ripped off. just my 2 cents.

Agree, bum article. Latitude & voice search were both missing from the European RC9 update, which I assume is what they were referring to. Wouldn't mind somebody giving a decent explanation for _why_, as these are both features available on Android in the US and on other T-Mobile phones in the UK... so it's not the phone, OS, carrier or location that's the issue.

will believe it when i see the update on my phone.

My guess is that they are waiting for the release of the HTC magic before cupcake is released. It makes sense because that would add momentum to its release.

That certainly is my theory.

it's believable since it's on point with the first quarter thing which was what was said on HTC website a while ago with the onscreen keyboard.
