Following some developer complaints of slow progress, Google Inc. on Monday released an updated version of the Android software development kit as well as a timeline for future releases. In addition to fixing "tons of bugs," the update includes a "ton" of user interface changes, according to a blog post written by Dan Morrill, a developer advocate at Google. It also includes new applications such as an alarm clock, calculator, camera, music player, picture viewer and messaging application.
