As part of the Android 2.2 "Froyo" update, which is being unveiled at Thursday's Google I/O Conference, a very nice upgrade has been made to Android's built-in camera software. Google has effectively made it a one-handed endeavor, and one that does a better job at matching its user interface to how you hold your device.

The biggest change is that the pull-down menu, which would often require two hands to toggle and navigate, has been removed completely. In its place is a very simple system of transparent dials that pop up with options when you press them. They also rotate as you rotate the device, so that they're always facing the correct direction.

These may seem like two very small changes, but they have a dramatic effect on how much easier it is to identify and access camera features that, frankly, were not worth the hassle of weeding through menus to access, or that simply did not work while holding a device in portrait mode.
