Android 2.0 SDK Released, Google Maps Navigation Announced

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday October 28, 2009 @04:23AM from the android-will-find-a-way-home dept.

stoolpigeon writes "The Android 2.0 SDK is now available from Google. This puts to bed concerns about Google not releasing the SDK or perhaps being in some kind of exclusivity deal with Verizon around 2.0. The release notes give a nice overview of what is there. Those who already have the SDK can grab the updated tools as SDK components; everyone else will pick up everything when downloading the new SDK." Relatedly, reader riffzifnab reports that Google has also announced Google Maps Navigation, a GPS application for Android 2.0 that takes voice input and integrates with internet searches and Street View.

There's a lot of speculation that T-Mobile G1 owners might not get the update, which would suck.
Well, they're _already_ T-Mo customers - they must be used to suckage by now, right?
