Android 1.6 is released not long time ago. While I am waiting for a ROM update of Android 1.6 from HTC, Android 2.0 is released this week. Wow that is a power of opensource. Moreover, there are a lot of great upgardes. I found the new version got a multi-touches virtual keyboard!(What does it mean there is multi-touches support by 2.0?)

There are a few key features updated:
1. Contacts and accounts
- multi accounts sync are supported
2. Exchange supported (Offically, I am using HTC Magic, I can sync with the MS Exchange).
3. Camera support enhanced
- such as built-in flash, Digital zoom
4. Better Virtual Keyboard
- it supports multi touch keyboard
5. New browser with HTML 5 supports
6. New Media framework

For the User Interface, I found some icons are updated, such as Phone, Contacts and Messaging.

For the new SDK, there is a better UI. Now, it has a SDK Manager, it can handle updates, download new components and creating virtual devices.
