Android SDK v0.9 has just been released and with that “.9″ looking rather close to “1,” we’d put our money on all of the latest release date rumors regarding the HTC Dream in October. This updated version presents some significant changes and increasingly points toward finalization.

The new version of the beta incorporates many more widgets and has a more pleasing interface. It also features a flickable homescreen and a tab that hides your apps, but can be pulled up quickly to view what you have stored.

A media player and camera are also included. You can sync your contacts and it seems this version has been designed to work with a slide out keyboard. I think this one’s almost ready, folks! And by the looks of it, we won’t have to wait much longer.
