Google has made available a software development kit (SDK) for version 2.1 of its Android OS, which is found on the newly-released Nexus One handset.
Yep, that's the same Nexus One that went on sale last week. Only now will developers be able to crack on with making apps that make use of some of its native features.
That includes animated wallpapers, telephony functions and improvements to the way apps interact with the Android browser, according to The Register.
The late release of the SDK shows one of the challenges facing Google. New iterations of the Android OS seem to be coming out every month, while handsets like the Nexus One are understandably kept (fairly) under wraps before their launch.
Yet the net result is that there will be a time-delay between the Nexus One's launch, and the availability of a glut of non-Google apps that tap into all its native features.

There's no such thing as a perfect mobile app store strategy -- you're either too draconian, too arbitrary, or too loose in your policies, and as far as we can tell, there's no way to find a balance that isn't going to trigger an alarm here and there or get a few people worked into a lather. If you're too loose, for instance, you're liable end up with the occasional bout of malware, which is exactly what appears to have gone down recently in the Android Market with a few fake banking apps published by a bandit going as "Droid09." As you might imagine, the apps end up doing little more than stealing your information and ending your day in tears; the apps have since been pulled, but that's probably little consolation for those already affected. The moral of the story? Be vigilant, keep a close eye on those system permissions the Market warns you about as you install new apps, report sketchy ones, and -- as always -- use a hearty dose of common sense.

Epic Games VP Mark Rein brought with him the latest platforms on which the company's Unreal Engine 3 officially runs, iPhone 3GS hardware and Nvidia's Tegra 2 "system-on-a-chip" platform, giving us a chance to go hands-on with the tech demo.
Our demo was the same shown back in December of last year, a small, tightly contained room built from an existing Unreal Tournament level. The level spawned a single enemy for us to strafe about the room, avoiding enemy fire while trying to soak in the limited scenery. The demo moved at a good clip, with smooth sharp graphics, and not a whole lot happening on-screen.
But it was impressive, the best-looking 3D shooter I've seen on the iPhone platform. That's due in part to the fact that every iPhone game I've played has been compatible with all generations of Apple's phone. The current version of Unreal Engine 3 for the iPhone is only for iPhone 3GS, the third-generation iPod Touch and iPhone future hardware.
Also striking was the "strafe" mode control system, featuring a small analog stick-simulating area in the bottom left, a fire button in the bottom right. Holding one's finger on the screen controlled the camera, with screen taps (anywhere, really) firing rounds of some Unreal Tournament energy rifle. As touchscreen controls go, it worked like a charm.
Rein showed us the same demo running on Nvidia's newly announced next-generation Tegra platform, an identical experience displayed on a device about three times the size of the iPhone's screen. The visuals scaled nicely, giving us a chance to better study the details of the stained glass windows and ornate architecture of the level.
While the Tegra platform can be used in touchscreen tablet devices, Rein showed us a version using an Apple USB keyboard and mouse, controlling the Unreal Engine 3 demo like any other PC control set up. Again, the demo looked sharp, with Rein saying that Tegra 2 hardware was on part with three-year-old PC gaming hardware.
Gamers looking for a very portable Unreal Tournament experience should keep an eye on developers licensing Epic's engine, as the iPhone and Tegra demos were graphically impressive, despite their limited size and scope. It could be a viable and popular solution for tablet based gaming.
And if those rumors that the Tegra platform has been chosen as the hardware basis for Nintendo's next portable are true, expect to see Unreal Engine 3's portable version powering many of the future's on-the-go games.

dumbnose writes to let us know that a fraudulent app that attempts to steal bank information has made it to the Android app store. From the alert:
"NOTICE: Users of mobile devices with Android software may have noticed several applications available for download in the Android Marketplace. If you see any applications provided by the user Droid09, please do not download these applications. Android applications provided by Droid09 are fraudulent. Please remove any applications by Droid09 from your mobile device and contact your mobile provider to evaluate whether any other applications or information stored on your mobile device have been compromised."
Multiple marketplaces are possible in the open Android ecosystem. Might we see the emergence of a marketplace distinguished by an iPhone-like app vetting process?

A test published by MOTO labs comparing the accuracy and sensitivity of smartphone touchscreens among various makers gave the iPhone top marks ahead of HTC's Droid Eris, the Google-branded Nexus One and the Motorola Droid. The test was conducted within a drawing program using a finger to trace straight diagonal lines across the screens and then comparing the results. While it's not likely that a smart phone user is going to draw a lot of lines, the test does give some indication of which phones are most likely to properly respond to clicking on a link in a Web browser

Reporter Dan Simmons from the BBC's technology show Click, managed to break a mobile phone marketed as 'unbreakable' (video), during a demonstration at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas."
The phone can survive a 10 story fall, being submerged 20 feet for 30 mins, and you can use it to hammer a nail; but it's no match for a British journalist.

Another day, another fresh batch of rumours about Apple's tablet, which may or may not be codenamed or actually named iSlate.
We'll start with the biggie: seeming confirmation from Stephane Richard of France Telecom / Orange that the tablet is on its way.
Well, confirmation of a sort: all he says is 'yes' twice when asked by a TV journalist about an Apple tablet coming soon, with a webcam. And then 'of course!' when asked if Orange customers will be able to use it.
Meanwhile, an article on tablets in the New York Times offers up some new rumours about Apples, quoting a former Apple designer as saying a team at the company has "spent the past couple of years working on a multitouch version of iWork".
That'd be right: a keyboardless device with an office suite. The article also speculates on the likely multi-touch interface, quoting another anonymous source as saying "three fingers down and rotate could mean 'open an application'".
It's moments like this, you wonder if Apple is having fun at journalists' expense.
Equally speculative is tech blogger Jason Wilk's claim that the tablet may be targeted at the healthcare industry:
"My Dad plays golf with Cedas-Sanai hospital execs, who say they have been getting frequent visits from Apple about a new device in the last 6 weeks."
Whatever it is, we may not be seeing the tablet for a few months. Previous rumours have tended to assume a January unveiling followed by a March launch, but Reuters' sources claim that the aluminium cases for the initial shipment won't go into production until February.
That would mean a likely shipping date in the second quarter. Stay tuned: tomorrow there'll likely be rumours that it's a device for jockeys, with a one-thumb interface, shipping in August...

Google is being inundated with complaints about its Nexus One phone.
The touchscreen smartphone was launched on 5 January and can be bought directly from Google and used on almost any phone network.
But confusion over who should answer customer queries has led many to file complaints on support forums.
Many people are unhappy with Google only responding to questions by e-mail and are calling for it to set up phone-based support.
Phone frustration
Americans can buy the Nexus One directly from Google for $529 (£331) or on a contract with T-Mobile for $179 (£112). In the UK the phone will be available via Vodafone but prices and launch dates have yet to be released.
The support forums that Google has set up for the Nexus One are filling up with complaints from many of the first to buy the phone who need help.
...we're committed to sorting out the few kinks that do exist
Google spokesman
The top query, with more than 500 responses, is about how much people should pay for the phone and whether existing customers of T-Mobile can get the device at a reduced rate. Only new customers of T-Mobile will be able to pay $179.
Many are also trying to get more information about the phone they have placed an order for to see how long it will take to reach them.
Almost 500 people have logged problems with the Nexus One's support for 3G wireless networks. Others reported bugs when synchronising contacts or getting the handset to work with existing Google accounts.
Many are also complaining about the amount of time that it takes Google to respond to queries. Google said it would answer problems via e-mail though any response may take a day or two to arrive.
Frustrations were also reported by those that had turned to either T-Mobile or HTC for help and had been bounced back and forth between the handset maker and the mobile operator. Conflicting information about the phone, particularly if it supports 3G, is being given by Google's partners.
A common sentiment on the support forum was that for the $500 people have paid for the phone they should be able to call a dedicated help line.
"Right now it's a big mess," said KseniaCoffman on the forum.
Google has answered a handful of the questions posted on the query but so far the vast majority lack a response from the search firm.
"We've worked closely with our Nexus One launch partners to make support available through a variety of channels," said a spokesman for Google. "This is a new way to purchase and support a mobile phone, and we're committed to sorting out the few kinks that do exist."

It would appear our favorite little Runner, Faith, has hit a bit of a wall. IGN reports her iPhone outing has been pushed back from its previous January release window to a much more vague "early 2010." We're bummed, but hey, it's better than EA forgetting about the Mirror's Edge franchise entirely -- a real and entirely horrible possibility, we might add.
IGN says this delay is to add some content and polish to the experience, which we're all for. We've sent along our own courier to EA for comment. Cross your fingers the Blues don't nab her first.

For a while last night and today, there were two ways to check out Assassin's Creed II: Discovery before its official release on the iPhone App Store:
Have a Nintendo DS
Download the early version that somehow made it to the App Store before the official release date
The mistakenly-listed game has since been removed, with Ubisoft reps telling Touch Arcade that it not only was it an early release of Discovery, but it wasn't the final build, and thus may have had some bugs that will be ironed out by release. It was also incorrectly priced at $11.99. Just a big old whoops all around.
Even if you didn't manage to snag a copy of the game, Touch Arcade did, and the site courteously recorded some footage for us all. You can see that after the break.

Attention iPhone owners that have been praying for a physical keyboard forever: your prayers have been answers... kind of. Ion Audio has debuted its iType iPhone keyboard at CES, and we can confirm that it does indeed work as advertised. Once you pop your iPhone or iPod touch into the dock at the top of the board, you're free to type away to your heart's content -- if you're in the iType app, of course. Unfortunately, because of the closed nature of most of the iPhone platform, you can't just start typing in any iPhone app; you have to type in the iType app and then copy and paste to the app you want. It's surely an annoyance, but if you're sick of the soft keyboard and need some relief, it's your best option for now.

If there's one problem with Motorola's Droid it's that the battery life is just too long. We can almost make it through an entire day without a recharge and really, who wants that? Thank goodness there's a hack to enable an extra 50MHz boost, bumping the Droid up to a full 600 and, according to at least one user, significantly decreasing stability in the process. We'll go ahead and skip that one, but on the more alluring side there's a new add-on to the (already rooted) Nexus One that enables wired or wireless tethering. It's not a full ROM but does entail a kernel update, and as always these things can go horribly wrong if you don't know what you're doing. Not sure if you know what you're doing? Chances are you have your answer.

Powermat used CES 2010 to showcase its wireless charging product called – funnily enough – the Powermat.
The device uses wireless power transfer technology to charge any device that is laid on top of the mat, including phones, games devices, games controllers and music players among others.
The system combines an ultra-thin mat, which contains the magnetic induction array that transfers power, and a receiver that attaches to each device. Customer receivers are available for the iPhone, iPod, Nintendo DS and Blackberry devices, while other devices can be charged with the standard Powercube receiver.

Aw, snap! If you thought Apple was the only player in town who could convince gamine execs to walk on stage at and partner up, think again. Palm just announced that a PDK (plugin developer kit) would be loosed at the Game Developers Conference in March, and that'll enable coders to get their own games onto webOS. In the meanwhile (meaning today), Palm users will be able to sink their teeth into Need for Speed and and Sims 3 (among other titles) thanks to a partnership with EA Mobile. We're told that "lots" of games will be available in the App Catalog starting today, and the demo shown during the press event was remarkably lag-free. Another neat bit is the ability for games to integrate seamlessly in webOS, so any new texts you receive can be spotted while the game is playing, and if you switch cards to respond, the game just pauses until you return.
