Android Mobiles

I never get tired of talking about the awesome stuff that Eugene has his hands in. G1 and myTouch 3G owners can now make their devices go over the previous top speed of 528 MHz. In the pic you can see that Eugene now has the processor passing up 600 MHz like yesterday’s news. According to him, the processor can run stable at 628 MHz. Leave it to Eugene to do what “they” said couldn’t be done before. Now he’s shooting for 800 MHz, but unsure about the stability. Possibly more later …

Thanks Eugene!

Update: New pic added, 780 MHz seems to be the max this CPU can handle on battery power. Good work Eugene.

A couple weeks ago, we heard the G1 might see an OTA update to Android 2.0 this month. There’s only a couple days left for that to be strictly true, but we’re hearing more rumblings that the upgrade is not far off. 

This time, word comes from the Czech Republic. First, a tweet saying that Czech T-Mobile confirmed the update. Next, a Czech Android fan site reports getting confirmation from T-Mobile that “yes, both the G1 and Pulse will be shortly upgraded to 2.0.” (machine translated).

Still just rumblings, and no timeframe attached this time, but we like where they are headed.

A hat tip to Thomas Riley, who once again broke the news.
