Android 1.6 Version Update (Donut) adds new Power Control Widget
I’m a developer and have made a few apps for android, so I updated to the newest SDK today, Android 1.6, named "Donut". It’s supposed to roll out in October.
One of the first new things I noticed was a nifty power control widget, which gives you the ability to quickly toggle wifi, bluetooth, gps, data syncing, and brightness. Not a particularly big deal, because I’m currently using worthy widgets downloaded from the market, but it’s nice to have it natively for sure. Still waiting on a 3g toggle though…

May 16, 10 at 11:07pmWhy did they choose to leave out the 3G toggle? Isn’t this a power hog? And how much power does data synching use?
