Help what is different in 2.1?

[topher_csr]

so with all the fuss lately about 2.1 being released for the moment, eventually, i was wondering what the actual difference is. does it look different, have different features? just wondering how much i will really notice the difference between the two.

A lotta stuff. Our phones technically were not meant to run on 1.5 (what it has now), because its CDMA - Sprint/Samsung had to modify it in order for it to work. 2.1 natively supports our CDMA phone so a lot of bugs should be worked out with just that. But it also has more features, eyecandy, and generally just a better build of android. We might even get multi touch.

I sure hope so.. pinch to zoom is the feature I miss most.

You could watch the friendly video. Android 2.0 Platform Highlights | Android Developers

You'll note the same page for 2.1 says there are not major updates in 2.1 versus 2.0 that the user will see.

One thing I'm liking on that is that it says improved graphics architecture. I can has smooth 3-D rendering?
