Random "new phone" notes

This morning I was greeted with a software update dialog when I turned on my new G1.
  • The update completed in just shy of five minutes.
  • Firmware version 1.1 to 1.6.
  • Kernel version: from 2.6.25-* to 2.6.29-*.
  • Build number: from "kila-user 1.1 PLAT-RC33 126986 ota-rel-keys,release-keys" to "DRC33".
  • Noticed a few new entries to the settings menus: System tutorial (which covers how to use the newly added soft keyboard), Speech synthesis (which requires the installation of voice data before becoming fully functional), Search, Accessibility.
  • Refinements to market interface.
  • Some improvements to the Contacts and Calendar apps.
