With the many Android handsets that received some kind of major or minor update recently, the original starter to all those handsets is getting a minor update as well. Before you start jumping for joy, this isn't the kind of update you're probably expecting – instead it will only improve the G1's calling performance and does not include any other feature enhancements. It's actually quite similar to the minor update that the original T-Mobile myTouch 3G received almost a month ago. The Android 1.6 update (DMD64) is expected to roll out through an over-the-air process starting today and will eventually make it to everyone by March 15th. Owners of the original Android smartphone will receive a notification on their device prompting them to either “install now” or “install later.” Once the update is completely installed, the unit will restart and owners can expect an improvement on call performance – and that's all. You'll have to look elsewhere if you really want a piece of the latest version of the platform.
