It would suck if it was April Fool's joke but I'd laugh. And give Voda/HTC mad props. That'd be the best April Fool's joke ever.

I have a feeling many people would snap their phone in half in frustration and TMO would be getting a lot of, "My dog bit my phone in half but I have insurance" type walk-ins. Hah.

So.....wrong....

NOTE !!

http://www.googleandblog.com/g1-android-cupcake-update/3853/

that is says " Cupcake Features" Not "Cupcake" which would imply the entire roadmap ...

some feature mentioned as posible were ...T-Mobile States Android Cupcake Update on the G1 in April | GAB
The features of this update would include:

Onscreen Keyboard
Video Recording
Voice Recorder
Stereo Bluetooth

RozzaC · Mar 11, 2009

As long as it's an update worth having....

I don't mind if it's some...or all of it....

Hell...I'd be happy if it was just ONE worthwhile feature in the update...

SO will this work with the Jesus Freke rom??

Jesus Freak will release his own Cupcake update soon after no doubt.
He is always way ahead of the carriers OTA updates, atleast in Australia anyway.

I thought that update would also include dual touch. So we can zoom photos using two fingers.

Multi touch is a proof of concept created by Luke Hutchison and packaged up by JesusFreke.
