Gizmodo has a nice preview of Eclaire, Android version 2.0. I can't wait for some of the new features (new GUI, google maps app, browser, and account syncing)!

I saw this yesterday and thought it was pretty funny. It seems that HTC, Google (Android), are launching a full scale war on Apple's iPhone. First it was Motorola's idont-Droid does ads, and now it's HTC's "You Campaign." It looks like Android 2.0, Eclaire will soon be released to a ton of new Android phones. I can't wait!

Juniper is now official! Last month, ATi introduced the 5800 series and now they are unveiling the 5700 budget line. The two cards 5770 and 5750 will be priced at $159 and $109-$129 respectively. It's a pretty competitive price point and the card seems to perform a little less than the current 4870 and 4850. The new card of course brings along DX11 and less power consumption, all the things you would expect from a new line and smaller dye at 40nm. The 4770 was the first 40nm card and it was really popular $110.

Guru3D's Review

Today, the good folks at Google Android have released the long awaited version 1.6, codenamed "Donut." This tasty pastry brings along some neat additions to Cupcake (version 1.5).

New things include:

• CDMA Support (Hello Hero for Sprint!)
• Quick search box for searching contacts, the phone, and the internet (think of it as Windows Vista/7's start menu search + google.
• Text to Speech API for many langauges (available from the Android Market)
• New Android Market GUI
• Support for multiple screen sizes and resolutions

So if you're rocking a T-Mobile device, expec the update to be pushed OTA (over the air) soon (G1's today and MyTouch's tomorrow, why them first?). If you are running Cyanogen or another mod, you'll likely have many of the 1.6 OS features since the SDK has been out for a little bit. To get the full update, you'll have to wait or unroot your rooted phone.

I will update this post when I have received and applied the update.

UPDATE #1: It's 10/3, two days, later and T-Mobile still has not pushed the update. Going to Settings > About Phone > System updates does nothing.

Update #2: 10/6. Got the update early this morning. Took less than 10 minutes to install. With the new update, everything is faster now!
