It is already out and if you are a Nexus One owner who has yet to download the new Android 2.2. Froyo update –do so now! The new patch brings plenty of interesting new features, a major performance tweak and of course, support for the new Flash Player that Adobe released just a while back. Yes, the new flash player will not work with the older Android operating systems and is made specifically for the Froyo. Despite the player already out, the 2.2 update has only been recently launched (seems like Adobe has been eager to show the mobile industry how fast they are).
Anyway, the new OS features a “tip widget” can be turned on or off as needed. It is a very useful tool for anyone unfamiliar with smart phone technology or those who have not tried out the Android OS before. This feature brings the Android mascot (a green robot) giving users tips and guides. It is useful, informative and most importantly, non-obtrusive.
As stated above, the new version also works with the Flash Player update. This means that a whole host of sites and web apps
can now be played and accessed with the Froyo 2.2. Of course, users would have to download the Flash Player separately.
Speed is the new keyword for the Android OS. Sporting a new Java handler and better Kernel Memory management, the new Os will be smoother and faster than the older versions. Some state that the performance boost can go anywhere from twice up to five times the speed of the original. The web browsing experience has also been upgraded as well.
Fans of digital photography will enjoy the fun new user interface. With all the controls neatly packed into a single, easy to use touch screen layout –taking images and videos with a phone has never been easier or fun.
