I don't think t-mobile would tell their call center people about an update until google announces it.

johnnewhouse · December 19th, 2008, 06:18 AM

the boys and girls at google have certainly been busy. thats quite a list.

the names a bit odd though, perhaps the next one will be called oreo cheesecake and contain an update for apps on the card.

This update is still in development. Until it's ready for release, TMO won't know/talk about it.

mish147 · December 19th, 2008, 07:37 AM

What the cupcake update really needs is flash, on the importance scale i think this outdoes the rest. with flash think of the possiblity's

dskyers · December 19th, 2008, 08:14 AM

yea its true they wouldent talk about it like i work at a tmobile store and when wegot the email about the g1 we were told our store can be sued or held liable if tmobile offical information was leaked ;lol

sw20matt · December 25th, 2008, 04:09 PM

so no flash player with update?

Mi|enko · December 25th, 2008, 04:10 PM

Flash isn't being released by google. It's being released by adobe.

sw20matt · December 26th, 2008, 01:40 AM

Flash is Adobe's baby, so you gotta check with them.

Google does quirky things like this in regards to naming their developments.

In regards to flash, I think there's going to need to be some integrations involved with the Webkit browser, so flash will ultimately come from adobe via google g1 update i think.

there's that, but it's also true that companies sometimes come up with a concept, and begin working on it without a name. They give it some sort of ambiguous development name so that it can be referenced internally for simplicity, leaving room for marketing/PR to come up with the final name of the product. Names are also changed because the original/popular name didn't test well with focus groups.

That's not true, they never gave a date.

The full story is that "Cupcake" is not an update. "Cupcake" is a development branch that is working on updates and new features. As those features become tested and available they will be added to routine updates. There isn't a "Cupcake" update, but rather future updates will have features that the Cupcake Dev team has worked on.

So theres not a major updated called cupcake instead there like a group lets say that is making updates for the phone that sound about correct?

cupcake is still very much a work in progress. It is a development branch, not a release.

I have been schooled. From all the hype I heard I thought it was gonna be an almighty OTA stream that was gonna make my phone cook me dinner and take out the trash.
