Mere days ago, we got very excited about the latest version of the Android operating system. Donut, or Android 1.6 as it's more formally known, offers a bunch of improvements over 1.5 that we think will make it a very worthwhile upgrade. We posted a full list of improvements earlier, so we won't repeat ourselves by going over them again, but we will show you some screen grabs of what key things look like.
Because this is a new OS, the app store hasn't updated yet, and there's only a tiny fraction of the usual apps present. Of course, this will change with time. We really wanted to test the new global voice-activated search, but the app for that isn't yet available for 1.6. We were, however, able to peek at the text search, battery meter and new-look app store.
Have a gander at our screenshots, and let us know in the comments section below what you think. Is this the update that's going to make Android phones a serious threat to the iPhone? Or is the Apple device so far ahead that nothing can be done to curtail the dominion of Jobs?
