Google’s G1 update

As the proud owner of a Google G1, I’ve always been a fan of the handset’s functionality and the Android OS’ general affability. However, a number of things irked me – namely the lack of decent battery life, and the occasionally clunky user-journey.

However, they’ve changed all that with a recent nifty update – huzzah!

We now have, amongst other things:

Battery life that seems to last longer than a day;
A camera that will shoot video as well as stills (albeit still questionable quality);
Nice rounded new icons;
GoogleTalk included;
Google Latitude, the friend-locator thing;
A touchscreen keyboard, a-la the iPhone.

Not bad at all!
