Froyo (the next Android version, not the frozen yoghurt!)
Author: Julie // Category: Industry NewsAndroid 2.2 is finally being released, and it is well worth the wait! It gives a whole load of updates to what is fast becoming one of the most popular Smartphone OS’s on the market.
Amongst all the minor bug fixes and improvements, Froyo is bringing flash 10.1 - giving users a better and almost PC like web browsing experience. Flash 10.1 is in beta stage at the moment, but will be in its final state for the Froyo release.
If you thought it sounded good so far, you will be excited to know that Froyo has undergone a spring clean too! Trials comparing Froyo to Eclair (Android 2.1) has shown a huge increase in speed, with Froyo running at least twice as fast as Eclair.
All you Nexus One lovers out there can jump with joy too, because as you will be the first to enjoy Froyo, because the OTA (over the air) updates are being rolled out shortly.
HTC have confirmed they will be rolling it out to most of their Android phones, and hopefully the HTC Hero will be getting it too. My friends will be happy with the new speed of their beloved devices.
