Few more features than the keynote.
Full list of features here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html
Thanks.. that second link is extremely helpful
did they include nexus wake up with trackball ?
i couldn't find it anywhere.
Bluetooth
* Voice dialing over Bluetooth
* Ability to share contacts with other phones
* Support for Bluetooth enabled car and desk docks
* Improved compatibility matrix with car kits and headsets
Apps can utilize Android Cloud to Device Messaging to enable mobile alert, send to phone, and two-way push sync functionality. // Is this Android app push? Like push breaking news, scores etc... Or am I reading this wrong?
Also more info here! http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html
EDIT: After watching the video it looks like the only thing I missed with my iPhone is now on Android! Push
"HIGHMEM support for RAM >256MB"
Finally, for all you people complaining!
Wow, pretty much everything that was rumored is confirmed!

Sorry Paul (not very smart here ) does this mean that the other half of available RAM will be unlocked?

Yup!
Also "A scale gesture detector API provides improved definition of multi-touch events."
I wonder if that means the N1's multitouch axes will be fixed for gaming!

I dunno if that's such a good idea to fix the multitouch for gaming...
If they do what would the whiners have to complain about then?
Is this a full feature list ?
Wondering if trackball colors are now natively unlocked.

I'm guessing device specific features are not part of the eclair -> froyo update (e.g. fm radio and the trackball colors). Guess we will have to wait for the upcoming ROM for Nexus One to find out.

RAWR!
It just means that apps like Trackball Alert won't need root. Just install it and you're done. No need to get grumpy.
Get on over to the development thread and its from eugene so u know its good lol

why do this? Are you mad?
Even eugene states in the op that it's not 100%, give him time to work out the kinks
Edit: looks like he got all but the auto rotate working, my bad. I might have to flash this
Bionix 1.9.1 w/ kk kernel
GPS is not going to be fix for a while, Eugene stated it himself that it missing some Libs that links the binary (just paraphrasing what he said), so until a leak is found, GPS remains useless.
That's if you don't care for it, then the only other down side is the lack of screen rotation. Otherwise, everything else should be Golden.
I always turn off auto rotation anyway
This is old news...very old news...
isnt the OTA coming any second? Or is there some news that I missed saying it wont be released for awhile?

A OTA service patch for 2.1 was released recently dubbed JI6. Are you referring to that? There is no official word on froyo as of yet.

Ya, I don't flash Roms that don't work completely. I said this because the ROM doesn't work completely...
I think it's important to note that this newest version has the just in time compiler.
Hello Xperia patient fans,
I installed Android 2.1 yesterday (don't ask me how, I have good connections) here are the proofs:
http://mugur-ionescu.ro/android-2-1-pe-xperia-x10.html
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxIIdFZ69YU
and here are my first impressions.
- First of all the system is faster (only after few hours of use it really became faster).
- The interface is really nice, a lot of improvements in all details.
- Address book is integrated with Facebook contacts in a very nice wy, you get all updates directly in your phone book
- The camera records in HD at 720p. Here are the proofs (choose 720p): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzXztObF4hs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M01GXXzSSQw
- There is no Multitouch
- Live wallpapers are included
- No pintch and zoom
- Moxier mail is still there
- Battery seems to last longer (I'll confirm after longer usage)
- Phone dialer application is improved
I'll see more and come back. If you want me to test specific features leave a comment here or on my blog: http://mugur-ionescu.ro/android-2-1-pe-xperia-x10.html
Mugur
great, you are the first!
does the old one click root method with the UniversalRoot.apk work on that?
first of all, big thanks,
second,
- There is no Multitouch
- No pintch and zoom
- Moxier mail is still there
F**K!!!

3D Gallery is the default Eclair gallery, that has been replaced by Mediascape.
It is still there though in the /system/app, I saw it in the system dump you provided us.
If you choose to place the Picture Frame widget on your screen, it opens the 3D gallery to choose a picture from.
And for the love of God, you have -theoretically- lost your warranty since you installed a pre-release of the firmware, so please try the one-click app to root!
Please please please...

sorry i don't have it. But i read somewhere that the widget called "Picture Frame" use 3D Gallery.

For what it's worth I get the same error.
Either A) not fully implemented, or B) samsung hasn't turned on their end because nothing is available for us...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I didn't understand this thing either. Are we to expect that Samsung is going to support the Camera differently than the OS as a whole? Like will we be getting specific upgrades for the camera only? When do you think we can expect the first camera firmware update? Like 2015?

The camera is built by NEC, and the firmware images are from NEC. If you look at the kernel sources, the camera firmware is actually loaded and re-programmed EVERY SINGLE TIME you load the camera, and it's also the only way to control the flash. This is why flashlight apps on the epic take about 1 second to start... and prevent the camera app from starting.

Oh wow, I didn't know that. Was wondering about the flash taking so long to start. Thanks a lot for the info.
Also, thanks for every rom of yours I have used when on Windows Mobile and for the amazing work you did.
Thanks so much for the details. If NEC released their firmware, would it be just a matter of baking it in?
Frankly, I'm not going to hold my lbreath for Samsung, then sprint to release something...
There are to many players controlling firmware releases and nothing sems to happen.
I'm actually getting amessage that additonal charges will apply if I do that. It doesn't say how much so I'm not clicking the button to go ahead.

LOL and what are they going to charge you for?
I'm 100% sure it's a poorly translated message that really means "wireless data usage rates may apply"
btw, I also got this message, then a FC after I clicked the button.
Could mean something
If you guys are getting this with the leaked ROM could it mean that a true update is coming? Maybe Samsung / Sprint finally listened and caved in by giving us Froyo??
I can only wish.
Nothing to do with froyo, just a feature of the froyo camera.

The same way that the Gingerbread keyboard being on some roms has nothing to do with Gingerbread coming to the Epic.

That is probably 99.9% right, habe never know Engadget to be wrong about release dates of stuff.
By saying next week they probably mean the last day of the next week, so 10 more days to go
ugh, dont know if i like that.... i dont want to have it too integrated with facebook as i do value my privacy. hopefully there's an option to turn it off

To work with Facebook you need to sign in. HTC sense is also really integrated with Facebook (twitter flicker) but you have to sign in. If you don't sign in the function doesn't work.

Yay for 2.3.4. Nay for Facebook integration. I like it the way it is right now. Please make Facebook integration optional Sony Ericsson.
Let's just hope Rogers pushes it out next week as well.
IT IS optional you can turn it completely off from the menu! )
Well I won't update it immediately when I comes out. I'll wait and see if Gingerbreak works on the new firmware. And can unlock the HBOOT.
I hope this update brings the much anticipated fixes for the ARC, it's SO close to being perfect, come on SE!
there is an update on that article, the version of the new android update for the Arc will be 2.3.3
Anyone knows what other improvements will be brought by this updates in addition to Facebook intergration? I left a message on SE product launch blog to Rikard, but didnt get any response yet.
So, I'm wondering if the update is for both LT15i and LT15a.

what Nimche said, but to answer your question, I'm sure if it WERE the case that SE were jumping straight to 2.3.4, hypothetically, yes. This would be possible. I couldn't forsee any issues with it...
Dont care about facebook integration, just hope it fixes that camera battery drain bug.
Correction..
Its not 2.3.4 its 2.3.3 ....
Look again at Engadget.....it has been corrected by them........
Wasn't there a member that had their Xperia Arc already on 2.3.3? Wonder if he has all of these features already...
