In a break from tradition, the availability of an official SDK for Android 2.1 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Android21/) trailed availability of a phone running it -- the Nexus One (http://www.engadget.com/tag/NexusOne/), of course -- by nearly a week, undoubtedly leaving countless developers sleepless. Despite the Nexus' fistful of new goodies like active wallpaper and a far flashier 3D-enabled Gallery app, Google's simply referring onlookers to the 2.0 documentation to learn about user-facing changes: "Android 2.1 does not add significant user features, see the Android 2.0 Platform Highlights document for the latest user features." From a development perspective, the latest SDK includes hooks for creating your own active wallpapers, so get moving, guys -- a whole bunch of HTC (http://www.engadget.com/tag/android2.1,htc) and Moto (http://www.engadget.com/tag/android2.1,motorola) devices are going to be able to use 'em soon enough.Android 2.1 SDK now available, Nexus One says 'geez, finally' (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/android-2-1-sdk-now-available-nexus-one-says-geez-finally/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Mon, 11 Jan 2010 20:02:00 EST.
