Google Android 2.0, codenamed “Donut” is now officially being distributed via the companies official code repository. The upgraded OS is designed to work on all existing Android phones and has some new features like multi-touch support, universal search, text-to-speech, automated backups and an upgraded camera application. New widgets for the homescreen include a toggle for Wi-Fi, screen brightness and more. One thing to note is that XDA’s cyanogen claims that Donut is not Android 2.0 but is more or less an incremental upgrade to the OS, like Cupcake was.

Apple prepping video-recording for iPhone and iPhone 3G?

iPhone users have been clamoring for proper video-recording since the original iPhone launched in 2007. It’s sad that the iPhone is going on almost two years without vid-recording support. But, there’s hope yet!
Recently published Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) patents apparently make reference to video-recording and conference-calling features as part of a mobile device. The references to still-missing features gives hope that Apple is working to bring enhanced video features to the iPhone community. We’d just about given up hoping for native vid-recording support on the iPhone and iPhone 3G when this little gem of a rumor trickled into our corner of the interweb, and we’re having a hard time not getting our hopes up this time around.
The patent mentions a “digital video camera application” among a list of supported applications that includes a “telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a blogging application…” and more. The reference to a video camera application might just mean that Apple is cooking up some legitimate support for recording moving pictures on the iPhone.
A closer look at the patent language reveals a reference to a “video conferencing application” in the above list of supported applications. While video-conferencing isn’t likely to ever work on the iPhone or iPhone 3G (what with their not having a front-facing video camera), Apple could endow the next-generation iPhone (4G?) with the right hardware for the job.
The Apple patent docs reference the “digital videoing” and video-conferencing features repeatedly, which might be Apple just legally covering all the angles. But, seeing as how the vid-recording and -conferencing features are listed multiple times among other applications that are already available for the iPhone, could mean that Apple is working to make those sought-after features a reality.
“In some embodiments, the functions may include telephoning, video conferencing, e-mailing, instant messaging, blogging, digital photographing, digital videoing, Web browsing, digital music playing, and/or digital video playing. Instructions for performing these functions may be included in a computer-readable storage medium or other computer program product configured for execution by one or more processors.”
It’s a waiting game at this point. Actually, it’s more of a “hoping that Apple flips the switch on video features” kind of game. Until then, iPhone users can jailbreak their iPhone or iPhone 3G and install their choice of video-recording applications from Cydia.
