phonegeek 588 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) Android 2.2 (Froyo) Officially Announced With Ground-Breaking New Features Main Features : Google has done a lot of work. FroYo’s Dalvik virtual machine has a JIT compiler that’s good for a speedup anywhere from 2x to 5x. For corporate users, there are a bunch of new Exchange policies. You know, good stuff like auto-discovewrt, security policies, global address books, remote wipe, etc. Elsewhere, there’s a cloud-to-device messaging API. Developers can send messages to Google’s servers and it will send an Android intent to the device. For example, if you’re looking to get to a nice Italian bakery, you can hit up Google maps on your desktop and send the directions to your Android smartphone. It won’t send some crummy text message or email, though. Oh, no. It will open up Google Maps Navigation and send you on your merry way. Tethering and Hotspots The rumors were indeed true. Android will let you enable tethering at the platform level. Just open up the Wi-Fi settings, create a hotspot and you’re good to go. Browser FroYo brings major enhancements to the browsers. Javascript performs 2x to 3x faster. Google is working closely with standards bodies to make more capable and versatile browsers. Soon (and not necessarily in FroYo), you’ll be able to do things like use the camera, manometer and accelerometer from within the browser thanks to some clever APIs. Google has upped its game with voice recognitions. In the future, again, not with FroYo, voice recognition will be able to better understand human intention. So if you tell it to look up a picture, it will do that in browser. But if you tell it to call your favorite restaurant, it will do that, too. You’ll also be able to use voice commands with the Google Translate website. Just say whatever it is you want translated and Google will Google wants the most comprehensive mobile browser. “It turns out on the internet… people use Flash!” We saw a quick little demo of Flash running on Nickelodeon’s site, and truthfully, it looked to run fairly smoothly. The Quick Search box will allow you to easily search for applications. Developers can also tap into this. Say you bought something and plugged it into the Mint app. You can search for that particular transaction with the Quick Search bar. You’ll be free to shove games and apps to the microSD card and use them as if they were loaded on the devices on-board memory. There will be an update all button for apps in the Android Market. If that’s too much hassle, you can select any number of your apps to auto update. Very nice! Report feedback If an app crashes, you can send feedback directly to the developer and let them know what happened. Developers can view the entire stack trace and isolate the problem and fix it. You’ll be able to take advantage of a little known as the “internet” and have it push the app directly to your phone. The same can be done for music and videos. *drool* Streaming Music Thanks to Google’s acquisition of Simplify Media, you can now stream your non-DRM music collection from your computer straight to your Android smartphone.

::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) Froyo Hitting the Nexus One Early A few journalists are reporting that their Nexus One (review units sent from Google) is already getting the 2.2 Froyo update. What does this mean for everyone else? It's likely that the wider deployment is still a couple of weeks away, but now that the 2.2 ROM is in the hands of a select few, it's possible that someone may extract the ROM and make it available much sooner.
