14 DAY TRIAL // It seems that the Cupcake update for the Android-based mobile phone will not come to G1 users in April after all. The highly anticipated update for Google's mobile operating system has been rumored a few times before to be heading towards users, and the latest report from Pocket-lint unveiled a few days ago that Cupcake would come as soon as April.
Yet it seems that the Android platform will not receive its update next month, at least this is what Erica Gordon, a spokesperson for T-Mobile USA, is reported to have said to Betanews. According to the site, the carrier's official stated that said April update for the operating system was nothing but a rumor.
On the other hand, it seems that she only talked on behalf of T-Mobile US, and didn't deny the April time frame for the update. Erica Gordon, reports Betanews, said that she was not aware of the fact that T-Mobile International was preparing to release an update in April.
At the same time, we should also note the fact that T-Mobile released a previous update for Android in different time frames and countries, which might point towards the fact that some of the G1 users out there could see the Cupcake on their handsets after all. Back in February, the RC33 update was released to users in the US, while those living in Germany got it at the beginning of March under the name of RC9.
The upcoming update is expected to bring a wide range of functionalities to the Android platform, including video recording, voice search, Google Latitude, stereo Bluetooth, or a better online keyboard. These new features should become available both for G1 device users as well as for those who will acquire future Android-based handsets.
