FroYo Announcement

Hello All:


  Below is what was said about the FroYo 2.2 firmware and what Google is going to do when it comes to bringing this to their equipment...

After the information about Android 2.2 was released today at Google I/O and then release details came out about the MyTouch Slide 3G, the Android train keeps on rolling.  Today HTC stated to Android Central  that if your device was released in 2010, it will most likely be upgraded to Froyo.  When asked if and when HTC's phones will get the 2.2 upgrade, the company had this to say:

"...if your phone was launched this year, we will most likely offer an upgrade for it to the Froyo version. This includes popular models like the Desire and Droid Incredible as well as hotly anticipated phones like the Evo 4G, MyTouch slide and upcoming models. We will announce a full list of phones and dates once we are closer to launching the upgrades. We are working closely with Google and our other partners to ensure we have the earliest access to everything we need to provide a complete and solid Sense experience on Froyo. We expect to release all updates in the second half of this year but can't be more specific yet."

Even though HTC couldn't give any sort of definite release date, this is certainly better than sitting and hoping that your shiny new DROID Incredible will be updated.

Yep Scott read it at phandroid.com.  Maybe we will get a leaked version for our phones, if devs are still willing to mess with the Eris.

Yeah, I have the Mobile Buzz widget on my Eris and all the stories the past 36 hours have been about Froyo and whether it'll come to certain phones.
The Eris will be passed over, it seems, which is just fine with me.  I love 2.1 and by the time I am ready for 2.2 they will have released 2.5 on a completely different and lightning fast phone.

Anyway, here's to progress.  Froyo looks awesome!  I am drooling to try it out, and will probably upgrade if the Devs can get a version tweaked to install on the Eris.

Love technology.
