Android Cupcake finally launched, here are some highlights:

* MMS - The ability to save attachments, plus some performance increases when scrolling through conversations lists
* Email - Fixes most if not all of the bugs and troubles facing those using the Email (not Google Mail) app. Noted improvement handling POP3/IMAP connectivity.
* Alarm clock - has its own intent and the alarm fires directly. Fixes issue where some modal dialog boxes block the alarm.
* Music player - allows for music to fade back in after a call ends. New intent allows for Song title, album, or artist to be searchable (think being able select a song that’s playing and sending the info to an app that can find similar music, Pandora style). also works with video and Youtube.
* Browser - Updates Webkit and Javascript engine. Copy and paste text in browser by holding “shift” and dragging over the text. also adds the ability to find text within a page. General performance improvements.
* Voice Dialer - open apps with voice commands
* Camera - This is the big one: video recording, and native local playback. Share video intent, and thumbnails for video files.
* Bluetooth - A2DP & AVRCP (stereo bluetooth) profiles finally supported. Still holding out for BPP (Basic Printing Profile). Fixes connectivity with certain automobiles (Mini Cooper, and late model BMW)
