Google have released the latest incarnation of its lightweight OS, codenamed Donut, to the developer community. This exciting new update has really excited and impressed Google developers from around the world, so what’s so amazing?

The new release appears to have the ability to support multi-touch technology, although quite confusingly a Google source has confirmed that this will not be part of the next release. So it looks like Google are testing the technology.

The new OS update also features Voice to text, a more user friendly camera interface and the ability to select widgets from the home page to give easier access to services like Wifi. There is also a rumour that the new interface will feature gestural recognition, we are not sure if this will be through using the multi-touch screen technology but rumours confirm the possibility of finger movement launching programs and functions.

The new OS is backward compatible, so now the Magic and G1 users can improve their OS, well done Google.
