- ROADMAP 2009 -

Q1 2009

Input method framework (IMF)

This feature will enable support for input methods other than physical keyboards, for example soft keyboards. IMF will also enable application developers to provide IME (see below) applications based on the framework.

Input method engines (IME)

IME will support soft keyboards, a dictionary of suggestions, and a suggestion algorithm. The Android platform may contain a few reference IMEs, and developers can provide IME applications through the Android Market.

Beyond Q1 2009

Support for additional types of displays:

Support for WVGA and QVGA, in addition to the currently supported HVGA display.

Das HTC Magic aka G2 wird von Vodafone vertrieben und kommt ohne Hardware-Tastatur daher, da es zur Veröffentlichung schon das Cupcake Image installiert hat.
