Google has announced
Android 2.0 Eclair, and anyone with any doubts about the platform’s
prowess should take a look at the changelist to see just how serious
the search giant is. OS 2.0 brings with it support for multiple
simultaneous Google and Exchange accounts, together with quick contact
menus for speedier access to different methods of communication.
There’s also a unified email inbox and SMS/MMS search.
The camera
now has native flash and digital zoom support, together with white
balance, color effects and macro focus. HTML5 support has been added
to the browser, together with double-tap-to-zoom, and there are now
thumbnails in the bookmarks pane.
It’s possible to set the SMS/MMS inbox to automatically delete old
messages once it reaches a preset size, and there’s support for Bluetooth
2.1 and the OPP and PBAP profiles. We’re expecting to see Android 2.0
appear with a flourish on the Verizon Droid by Motorola tomorrow.
