Google Team Updated Android Apps2SD
Google team finally solved the problem of microSD card for Android Smartphone. Ever since the G1 was released, users have been asking Google to provide a solution which would allow them to store applications on their microSD card. Google finally confirmed that it looks like the fix is in.
The infamous Issue 1151 on the Android Google Code page has been updated from assigned to future release. A Googler named San who made the status change left the following note.
Apologies, but I’m not permitted to disclose scheduling information – suffice to say
it’s coming soon
Sorry for being vague and thank you for your continued patience – I sincerely
appreciate it.
We already predicted Android 2.2 and Flash 10.1 would be unveiled during Google I/O so there is a small possibility we could see the apps2SD solution in a couple of weeks.
PayPal payments system for Android Marketplace
It is a great news for internet user who purchase online that PayPal is being added by Android marketplace.
Those of you who use PayPal to buy things online will be pleased to know that the service is being added to the list of methods that the Android Marketplace will accept payment. The move was announced during an informal meeting PayPal’s Amsterdam headquarters, and looks to roll out for Android in Q2 of this year. Acting as an alternative to Google Checkout and credit cards, Paypal support looks to open a whole new revenue stream to the Marketplace, which will hopefully encourage more growth.
PayPal is a good track record instead credit card and now it is being more relaxed Purchasing Android products through online.

FINALLY ANDROID 2.1 IS BEING USED BY CANADIAN MILESTONE USERS
While Google Team is being prepared to Android 2.2 for users, Canadian Motorola Milestone users are celebrating their ability to upgrade to 2.1. Motorola Canada released the update yesterday, but skipped the over-the-air update in favour of a downloadable package from their website.
They offered a downloadable package, extract it, then apply the update while their phone is attached to their computer via USB. Having just upgraded myself, I can say it’s a five minute affair. Users should take note that they are unable to make/recieve calls while updating, and will be required to restart their phones twice during the update process.
Release Notes can be found below. Something interesting to note is the ability to add even more homescreens, raising the cap to nine – I, personally, would not know what to fill them up with.
