Gizmodo: g1 update

T-Mobile G1 Update Also Includes Google Latitude

That software update for the T-Mobile G1 that's rolling out the next two weeks just got a little sweeter, as all users will be able to participate in Google Latitude, the friend-location software.

Latitude was acting up on us when we tried it on our G1 yesterday while testing it out for our hands on, but we're sure it will work much better once it comes as part of the software update. Again, this update is not the big Cupcake OS update that's coming our way, but a smaller interim one.

HTC's confirmed to Engadget that the "cupcake" OS Update ~~will~~ should be available to the T-Mobile G1 some time in the future.

No specification on when the over-the-air update will hit, though. [Engadget]

Chris from Engadget just told us that it's still up to T-Mobile and Google whether or not the update will hit, but HTC believes it will—but they can't mandate it.

First T-Mobile G1 Android Update Hits Tomorrow

The first update to the new Android-wielding G1 will be beamed OTA starting tomorrow to all G1 customers, with updates going out through October 31st. It's warned to be a very minor update, featuring various light "enhancements" and a bug fix related to Amazon songs. That's it. T-Mobile warns, "Before you go nuts, remember this is only the first [update]. Let's make sure updates download, install, and just plain work as designed before we expect them to overhaul your experience." Since we don't want our phones to explode, it's a deal.
