Word has it the Android update you’ve all been waiting for is being pushed out presently by T-Mobile. Fire up your G1s and just wait for that update. Just some of the features you can look forward to include:
- On-screen keyboard
- Video recording and playback
- Pictures and video include one-click Picasa and YouTube uploads
- Automatic adjustment of the touchscreen when the G1 is held horizontal or vertical
- Support for Bluetooth stereo headsets
- Speech recognition
- Homescreen widgets and live folders

Those with a Dev phone got the update earlier this week, so it’s not a huge surprise, but still bound to make some Android fans out there happy. Have you received the OS 1.5 update yet? Leave a comment to spread the good news!
