RC29, RC30 G1 Android updates get explained {Engadget Mobile}

Nov 14th 2008 6:07PM I don't know about RC29/30 but in the UK, I got upgraded to TC5-RC8 (from RC7) and I have noticed two new features:

1. A long press of the Home button now acts as a task switcher - like Alt+Tab on Windows. It is possible that this was always there as a feature and I just missed it, but I doubt it because someone thought it necessary to develop a task switcher app, which I had installed and found very useful until now. The native Android one works better and I don't have to use the camera button like I did with that3rd party app.

2. This one is a definitely a new feature but less interesting. When you connect by USB to a computer, you now get a sound notification and a little usb icon also appears in the top left corner of the screen.
