Froyo Roundup: DROID 2 To Launch With Android 2.2; Updates For Galaxy S And Vodafone Nexus One Dated
Lashings of Froyo rumor over the past twenty-four hours, with talk of Android 2.2 headed to various high-end handsets. First off, spyshots have tipped the Motorola DROID 2 as launching on Verizon with Froyo preloaded according to Droid-Life, rather than the Android 2.1 OS we've seen on the DROID X, while elsewhere there's talk of Android 2.2 updates for existing devices.
That includes a Froyo update for the Vodafone Google Nexus One as early as next week, with the carrier-branded device finally getting what unlocked users have been enjoying for a few weeks now. Handy, since Google has announced that they'll soon not be offering the unlocked version themselves, leaving it up to carrier partners to supply the phone.
Finally, the Samsung Galaxy S is tipped to get Android 2.2 in September 2010, in France at least. That's particularly good news, as we found the Galaxy S' processor to have plenty of promise when we reviewed the smartphone and expect Froyo to only make things better.
