From Htcyou: Verizon says that the Motorola Droid is receiving Android 2.2 FroYo in July, presumably before the upcoming Droid X, which is shipping with Eclair on July 15th. More »

From Htcyou: Before the end of the year, Motorola will have an Android 2.2 FroYo smartphone that is powered by a 2GHz processor (battery life grimaces) with NVIDIA’s Tegra chip. Stateside, Motorola has kept fairly quiet in the midst of paramount launches from closest Android rival HTC, but with the Droid Xtreme, Droid 2, and the 2GHz model set for Q3-Q4 releases, the American phone corporation should strike back intensely.

From Htcyou: From TMO News are some glad tidings for MyTouch 3G owners like myself: Android 2.2 FroYo is “coming soon.” More »

From Htcyou: An unofficial Android 2.2 FroYo ROM can now be installed on the Motorola Droid. Wi-Fi does not work because it has been disabled. Everything else should be functional, but some users have reported minor issues. More »

From Htcyou: Accompanying two photographic leaks of the Motorola Shadow/Xtreme that have been sent to Droid Life is some savory information. The tipster reports that the Shadow/Xtreme is running Android 2.2 FroYo. More »

From Htcyou: At Google I/O, much was made about Android 2.2 FroYo’s behemoth speed increase over Eclair. Thanks to the JIT compiler, the unofficially available FroYo ROM is already 600% faster than fully optimized Eclair. More »

From time to time, depending on his mood, Apple’s CEO will throw his fans (and even his detractors) a bone. Regarding an e-mail inquiry about what Apple will do at WWDC to answer Google’s Android 2.2 FroYo hoopla, within 15 minutes, Steve Jobs replies succinctly, “You won’t be disappointed.” More »

From Htcyou: Google’s official over-the-air Android 2.2 FroYo update for its only branded phone should be live within a few weeks, but for the impetuous and bored who own a Nexus One, you can install the new OS right now. More »

From Htcyou: HTC has confirmed that the Droid Incredible, Evo 4G, MyTouch Slide, and Desire are on the priority list to receive Android 2.2 updates, but none of them is getting the new OS until the second half of this year. Although HTC has not made a statement about 2009 models, the adverb that “most” 2010 units will get FroYo indicates to me that there is no chance for the likes of the G1, MyTouch 3G, and Droid Eris since not “all” 2010 smartphones will be upgraded.

From Htcyou: The good news is that Adobe Flash 10.1 beta is ready to download over-the-air for Android 2.2 FroYo phones, but the catch is that no smartphone runs 2.2 yet, and that Eclair and older Android builds no longer support 10.1! More »

From Htcyou: Google’s I/O on day two brought a plethora of monumental announcements. The Android 2.2 FroYo SDK is now downloadable. More »

Ryan Stewart’s Adobe Flash 10.1 video demonstration is in fact running off Google’s unreleased Android 2.2 “Froyo” operating system. Not only will the latest Android OS be manifold faster than Eclair 2.1, but it will also have USB tethering and a Wi-Fi hotspot feature. More »

Make it “Photo and Video of the Day.” What you are staring at is rumored to be Google’s Android 2.2 “Froyo” operating system running on a Nexus One. One of the benefits (or blights, depending on your allegiances) of Google’s next smartphone OS is that Adobe Flash 10.1 is integrated. If this clip is genuine and is not simply a modified Android 2.1 or earlier ROM (I am not cognizant of an existing Android ROM that can run full Flash this well), then Ryan Stewart, the video’s uploader and self-professed Adobe “evangelist,” makes a cogent argument for Flash and Froyo.
