Google’s latest Android build (Donut) features multi-touch, universal search, and more

Google “has released the code for [Android’s] Donut [build] to developers. Apparently designed to work on all existing devices (read G1 and Magic), Donut will include such lusted after features including but not limited to multi-touch support, universal search, text-to-speech, automated backups and a redesigned camera app,” Michael Bettiol reports for The Boy Genius report.

“There are also a bunch of new widgets including a much welcome home screen toggle for things Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, screen brightness and more. CDMA radio support looks to be included within Donut under the call settings menu — something not at all surprising considering Sprint’s Dan Hesse has recently been talking about his company’s intentions with Android,” Bettiol reports.
