Google releases Android 1.6 – Motorola Tao to get it
Android 1.6, which is codenamed Donut, has been rolled out to unlocked developer handsets and is coming soon to the G1 and possibly other carrier-supported phones. This version includes some compelling improvements for both users and developers. One of the most significant advancements is the introduction of CDMA support in the telephony stack which will open the door for Android phones to launch on Verizon and Sprint.
The first Android-based CDMA handset to launch will likely be the Motorola Tao, which was previously codenamed Sholes. Rumored to have a WVGA display and an OMAP 3430 processor, the Tao could break the pattern of lackluster specs that has afflicted virtually all previous Android offerings in North America. Android 1.6 introduced expanded support for screen resolutions, which makes WVGA seem pretty likely. Some blurry shots of the device have recently surfaced and are attracting interest on gadget blogs.
