…at least that is what has been reported by the good folks over at Engadget. Rumors of this new, fantastic update that will address a whole lot of bugs, apply fixes, and even integrate a virtual keyboard for emails and texts have been floating around for some time now. We’ve seen videos, read reports, and have been waiting… and waiting… and it’s coming soon. Apparently.

At least this time it looks as though Engadget has word on some good authority. They picked up the news direct from HTC earlier today. They also noted that at least a ‘majority’ of the ‘Cupcake’ update will be coming real soon to G1 owners in the very near future via an over-the-air push.

Stay tuned for more, I’m sure this saga will continue for some time before we see the official update… I’ll believe it when I see it!

    I am all about free speech and being up to date with everything.. BUT I have a huge problem when
    misinformation is plastered all over the place. The “cupcake” update has no contribution from T-Mobille.
    It has already been “notated” from HTC that they have nothing to do with the update as well. This
    is strictly a Google thing, and may be an incredible let down to all who are expecting so much from it.
    Until Google decided to make an official announcement about it, people should stop talking about what they “think is going to be in the update and
    wait till it’s announced. I am personally sick of explaining to people that the update has nothing to do with T-mobile
    and that THERE IS NO DATE FOR IT.

    Aside from the FACT that Googleandblog has been reporting rumors as FACT…. is the Fact that all other “sources” on the web are quoting Googleandblog as their source. How funny is that?

    I can’t wait for an update to my already great G1…but we just have to wait and hope. At this point release dates are a closely kept secret.
