The Android OS has come a long way since its original launch on the T-Mobile G1. Android fans can soon expect to see their Android smartphone getting down all sorts of crazy-cool features – things like an on-screen keyboard, homescreen widgets and speech recognition! Today, HTC and Google have taken the first step to making the Android 1.5 Cupcake update a reality for the general public. The Android 1.5 Cupcake update is now available for Android developers to play with.
