New Android SDK 1.1 in RC33 firmware upgrade

Yes, that’s right, a new number on SDK version of Android! Apparently the new firmwae upgrade has a new SDK version. Whhile this is not something that should worry the phone users.,who actually won’t even know it without fiddling around with the phone, those are quite interesting news for the developers.

While the new SDK is not available for download from android development website, it seems that everything is fully backward compatible (at least from our tests) and developers shouldn’t be worried too much about the RC33 update having the new SDK. It seems though that we should be expecting a new SDK with another number in version and not in release candidate (RC) shortly to become available for download.

As far as we are aware of, we are the first ones to notice this and report. Lack of the new SDk for the developers seems strange. Is Google hiding something there and was hopping it would slide unnotices? Did they have some last mintute technical problem with the 1.1 SDK for developers and didn’t release it to developers just yet, but didn’t want to stop pushing the RC33 upgrade to the users?
