Google has just released their latest Android video which shows off some Android 2.0 "Eclair" love, so now it's officially official. There's not much for me to say, but the video is above. And some changes are below, courtesy of Slash Gear.

Key changes for the new version of the OS include multiple Google and Exchange account support, two-way contacts sync, the ability to pull in contacts from multiple accounts, the ability to switch methods of communication and accounts within threaded conversations, and a unified email inbox.  There’s also new camera functionality, including macro focus and integrated flash support.


There’s also a new Bluetooth 2.1 API, which Google demo with a game of Android Pong played wirelessly between two different smartphones.  However it will also support OPP and PBAP profiles.  HTML5 support has been added to the browser, together with double-tap zoom, and there’s improved graphics hardware acceleration.  Of course thanks to Android 1.6 the platform has support for different display sizes, and with the newest APIs software can easily scale to suit smaller displays such as that found on the HTC Tattoo or larger ones.
