logo_androidIf you’re pumped about the new Android OS update (OS RC33), first off make sure you give Will some thanks for those handy instructions on how to force the update if you haven’t received it already. Second, if you’re a developer you will be pleased to know that the Android Software Development Kit version 1.1 is also now available for download.

At the official Android Developers Blog, it was noted that a few ‘minor, but useful’ changes have been integrated into 1.1. Nothing crazy here, but developers will surely want to get their hands on it regardless. An overview from the Android Developers’ Blog:

…the Android 1.1 SDK, release 1 is now available. As you’ll quickly see from the release notes, the actual API changes are quite minor, but useful. This new SDK has all the new APIs, as well as a new emulator image to let you test your applications. If you have a retail device running Android, contact your operator for the update schedule. An updated v1.1 system image for the Android Developer Phone 1 will be coming soon.

In addition to the new APIs, the emulator also contains improved ability to test localizations to the German language. Localizations for other languages will be added in future SDK releases.

You can get the Android 1.1 SDK right here.
