Google Testing Android Froyo 2.2
It looks as if Google is already testing the next version of Android, version 2.2, dubbed Froyo. While digging through their visitor logs, AndroidAndMe came across some Android 2.2 devices browsing their site.
As for a release date, the latest rumor is that it would be ready to go around May 19th, which is when Google's I/O 2010 kicks off. There's also a rumor of Flash 10.1 for Android being released at the same time. It is rumored to be an OTA update for the Nexus One owners out there. The other devices will either have to wait for a port (if you're rooted and unlocked), or wait for your manufacturer to push it out.
New features include more available RAM, multi-color trackball notifications (for the Nexus One), and touchscreen fixes. Its also rumored to have OpenGL ES 2.0 for better gaming, a JIT compiler, and possibly unlocking the Nexus One's FM radio hardware.

I turned 30 yesterday and then I wake up to this, the good news keeps rolling in.
I find it somewhat entertaining that the google/htc nexus one is sitting atop a MacBoook….
if froyo is coming in may, why is the Evo 4G only getting 2.1? This is great news. Skyfire is expected to be released for Android within 3 months also. If only a free solution for Microsoft Office could come about, I’d be ready to switch from wm.
hmm..i wonder if this is wat Sprint is waiting for…?????
@ Mike G. because it’s probably in testing phase, and Sprint can’t say it’s gonna come out because there testing it! & the fact we don’t really know when it’s coming out. I read somewhere that….actually this site! That Android Froyo was in testing to fully utilize the 4G radio. If everything goes as plan maybe Sprint will announce this at there May 12 conference, seeing as though Froyo is schedule to release on or around May 19.
Good news, I love my nexus one…
This is the year of the Android….. REMEMBER THAT!!!!
Man I seriously loved the first post here from p-slim.
“I turned 30 yesterday and then I wake up to this, the good news keeps rolling in. ”
Also that was a great observation.
It is sitting atop a mac device.
That says just about everything you need to know
about who has the upper seat this year.
