Android 2.2 OS – Codename FroYo Whats It All About?

Google is well underway at their developers seminar, Google I/O, in which the Android 2.2 Operating system codenamed ‘FroYo’ has just be revealed with numerous new functions.

These characteristics include USB tethering as well as an inbuilt WiFi hotspot for 2.2 Android mobile phones. Also shown off was a ‘cloud-to-device’ API and advanced search. Bringing the challenge to Apple, the Android 2.2 OS will assist Flash videos, the lack of which inside the iPhone is some thing which is constantly berated.

Even more targeting the iPhone, Google’s Android 2.2 OS will utilise an overhauled Application search system and provide Apps able to become stored externally on SD cards. This brand new Application storage choice is something that has been wanted by users and developers alike. Android 3., codenamed ‘Gingerbread’ have also been hinted at these days and is expected to arrive December this year. We know this is a bit late, however thought I should add it.
