According to a Google developer, Android 2.0 may be headed to mobile phones by the end of the summer.
The interview, with AndroidGuys, shows a representative of The Weather Channel saying it is preparing its next application release for Andorid 2.0 and that the app will be shipping before the end of August. Android 2.0 apps will not work on older Operating Systems, such as 1.5 (Cupcake), so the app would be useless without an upgrade.
The interviewee also said that Android 2.0 "is greatly improved" in terms of coding and is vastly more stable.
2.0 is dubbed "Donut," following in Google's dessert theme for Android updates, and will "add universal searching, voice control, text-to-speech and gesturing," says Electronista.
