Android 2.2 Froyo:
Android 2.2 mainly improved speed by adopting the Java script "just in time" compiler engine from Google's browser, Chrome. It also improved browser support by adding animated GIF supprot and Flash 10.1 plug in support, along with USB tethering and WIFI Hotspot capability.
Froyo is short for "frozen yogurt" it is a froozen dessert made from yogurt, so it is slightly more sour than soft serve, but also lower in fat.
Since its inital launch on the T-mobile G1 in October of 2008, Google's Android operating system has evolved rapidly perhaps more rapidly than any other operating systems in recent memory to become one of the most important and prolific smartphone platforms in the market today. Its latest incarnation, announced at Google's I/O confference in SAn Francisco, began life as codename "Froyo" to officially become Android 2.2 Don'tbe fooled by the mere 0.1 boost in the version number over 2.1 Eclair , though this is a huge upgrade that represents the most user friendly, compelling, and feature complete version of the little green guy to date.
The first thing you'll notice with Froyo is a slightly modified navigation bar that assimilates shortcuts for both the phone and web browser. The Google search bar has undergone a slight modification, too letting you cater your search specifically to web, apps, or contacts and that's about it for home screen modifications. No extra wallpapers, no additional screens, no nwe shortcuts. As for new widgets, all we've seen are tutorial box and a rotating ad for featured marketlace apps.
Well, What do you know Even seeing the settings sub menu for tethering and portable WiFi hotspot functionality didn't completely convince us, but sure enough, we logged on to AT&T 3G network without any issues. Security options are limited at this point it's WPA2 PSK or bust but that should be more than enough when your DSL goes on the fritz or you're stucked in traffic and needed to do some heavy emailing.
