An internal T-Mobile memo (T-Memo?) has heralded a glorious new dawn of Android: RC33. Yeah, yeah, it’s no cupcake, but there are a few new features coming down the pipes that make it notable.
“To ensure a great experience with the T-Mobile G1 with Google, customers with these devices will receive an Over the Air (OTA) update to their devices between February 5 and February 15. This OTA will include new system enhancements such as the ability to save pictures or files to file by long-pressing an item, check for system updates, and use the Google Voice Search feature. The OTA will also fix a number of known issues. New G1 activations will receive the OTA up to three days after service has been activated.”
Google Voice Search looks like the big thing, although it’s been available on other platforms for awhile now. Feel free to drop a comment with your impressions when RC33 gets pushed to your G1 sometime over the next couple of days.
