Googleplex menaced by giant cream cake
Monster confectionery signals Android update?
First Cupcake then Donut emerged from Google's Android oven, and now a giant éclair has been spotted at the company's North American HQ – igniting speculation that the mobile OS is on track for another firmware update.

When Android’s first update – Cupcake, aka version 1.5 - was released back in April, a giant cupcake appeared beside a giant model of the famous green android at Google’s Googleplex headquarters near San Jose.
Although the cupcake was never paired with a giant donut - to signify September’s release of Android’s Donut update, aka version 1.6 - a video of a giant éclair being placed beside the cupcake has since appeared online.
Google hasn’t officially acknowledged éclair – giant or otherwise – yet, but it’s believed that Android smartphones could receive the update during Q2 2010. ®

There are others out there too. Don't expect the G1 to handle like a G2 with cupcake but I haven't had any problems.
Update at your own risk, I nearly bricked mine twice during the procedures and had to rely on my Linux knowledge and the ssh-over-USB to sort it out.
If doing the app-on-SD thing, app-private has to be moved along with app for some paid apps to work.

As they say in the newspapers, watch this space.
Have you been living in a cave or just climbed down out of a tree?
