When Google announced Android 2.2 (Froyo) last week, they said that it comes with a new JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler, that will bring you enormous speed increases. In the video you’ll see how Android 2.1 runs compared to the new Android 2.2.
In the video, the Nexus One is in charge of Android 2.2, and Motorola Droid and Sprint Evo 4G again of the Android 2.1 (Eclair) side. Please note that the Nexus One’s Android 2.2 isn’t the final version, but a pre-release version that hasn’t been fully optimized.
According to a post over at XDA-developers, a guy was ‘fighting’ with a sales representative of HTC, and got a bit of information to share with the rest of the world. The user was fed up with the fact that he was running out of space to install applications. After a while of arguing, he got to speak with the supervisor, and this is what the answer to his problem was:
But you never heard this from me…. A new update is coming the 23rd of June and you will be able to put some apps on to the micro sd card.
That my friends, is a feature of Android 2.2 or Froyo, so if this conversation indeed did happen, then HTC Desire will see an Android 2.2 update on 23rd of June. Would make sense to update the “Nexus Two” after the Nexus One.
No wonder that the first phone to receive the awaited Android 2.2 update is Google’s own wonder-child Nexus One. Current Nexus Ones are being updated as I write, and if you still haven’t received your Froyo update it should be coming in the next few hours.
Nice more from Google to first serve their own folks, a little VIP treatment is never a bad thing :)
With Froyo (Android 2.2) right around the corner, focus will soon turn to the next Android version that will be called Gingerbread.
Today, Google gave us a little bit more information regarding its availability, we’ll see Android Gingerbread in Q4 2010. Google hasn’t yet unveiled the exact version number for this release, whether it will be 2.3, 2.5 or maybe even 3.0? Given the release quarter and short development time, my guess would be Android 2.3.
