Today, Google have gone official with the new Android 2.0 Eclair. Bringing major changes over Android 1.6, the Android SDK now brings new developer APIs for sync, includes multiple Google and Exchange account support, unified email inbox, two-way contacts sync, macro focus and integrated flash support for the camera.
Speaking of goodies the new OS comes with a new mobile web browser with a refreshed UI, support for HTML 5 and its associated video tag (in full screen) and double tap zoom. There’s also a new Bluetooth 2.1 API that allows peer-to-peer connectivity or gaming for your applications, there’s support for OPP and PBAP profiles, and support for different display sizes, which means no more issues with smaller displays.
On top of that there’s better hardware acceleration for graphics and a faster way to communicate with others by embedding Quick Contact which provides instant access to a contact’s information and communication modes.
Other than being a powerful operating system for your smartphone, Android 2.0 Eclair has given rise to speculation about the release of the Verizon Droid by Motorola tomorrow, since rumors have it that’s the phone they’re playing with in Google’s video (somewhere at 0:51).
