Today, Google released Android SDK 1.6. I have download the SDK and played around a bit the emulator. This seems to be a minior upgarde.

• Expanded Search
  • The search widget can search on web as well as files in phone.
• CDMA Support added

• A new version of Andorid Market

  • A new skin, that looks much better.
  • The screen shoot for apps is provided
• The apps developer can specify the target screen resolution.
• Text to speech function added.
• Keneral 2.6.29 is built-in
• Gestures functions added,Now,app developers can define their own gestures action. Such as draw a "g" to open a new window.

The emulator has not Market and seems to be not many new functions can play in there. But I have tried the search function, a search for all is very very convenient. That is very important in a handheld environment.

I am looking forward the new android into a real phone. New devices comes with 1.6 will be around early October. But I guess the new ROM of HTC Magic may be later that.

OK, for time being, let watch the induction video from Google.
