Android 2.2 450% Faster Than Android 2.1…Sometimes
The folks over at AndroidPolice are lucky enough to have a Nexus One running Froyo, Android 2.2. You've probably seen the slight changes to the homescreen, heard about Flash 10.1 finally coming to Android, make more RAM available for the Nexus One, possibly activate the FM Receiver/Transmitter in the Nexus One, and that it will offer a JIT (Just-In-Time) Compiler for the kernel. Based on a LINPACK benchmark, it shows the Nexus One with Froyo getting 37.5 MFLOPS compared to around 6.5 on a stock N1.
You do have to take these results with a grain of salt though. Not every app will benefit from these changes. Most will probably see a 2-3% increase since JIT only helps programs that are not compiled to native code.

It looks alot like the screen on my EVO. The only difference is I lie and don’t have one.
@roghaj –
My EVO looks like that too! I not lying either!
I saw one in the wild. Talked to a guy on the train and he plugged (yes, as in tethered) in his lappy to a phone. I was like “Oh, is that the Incredible? I can’t wait for the Evo.”
He’s like, “My wife’s an engineer for Sprint. This is the…” and I interrupted him and asked to play with it. My stop was like 10 seconds later. I didn’t get to touch.
Front looked like the Evo’s pictures. Back didn’t have the red spashies though. Makes me think it had a early build case.
the Evo, is everything u can dream of , the 2.2 enhancment will change everything, there was a time I didnt want to where my Sprint uni outside of work, now Ill start wearing it to the grocery store, oh Evo first bump me while standing on you kick stand, Im sure theres an app for that
