Late Night FroYo For You: Android 2.2 Getting Pushed To Nexus One?

These are the advantages to being Google’s favorite. That is, owning the official Google Phone: the 1Ghz Snapdragon, 3.7-inch WVGA multitouch screen, 5 megapixel camera, 512 MB RAM toting Nexus One. According to TechCrunch’s MG Siegler, late last night the update was presented to him while charging his handset; he updated it and is now enjoying Android 2.2 “FroYo” while laughing at everyone else, including me. Anyone else having the same miracle as the good ‘ol Paris Lemon?

Android 2.2 SDK Hits The Servers At Google, While Devs Will Be In Heaven

The same day that Android 2.2 FroYo is announced, is the same day you can expect the SDK to go live on Google’s servers. And guess what? Here they are! Although I do doubt that mobile Android developers will be able to completely down Google’s servers by a sheer number of downloads, I do know that the SDk offers you the ability to test the OS in the emulator all the way down to version 1 .5, and up to “FroYo” 2.2.

It’s all official and all ready to go. The Android 2.2 FroYo demo which took tons of jabs at Apple, which were all met with applause, was mostly demoed on the Google Nexus One, proving that having the official Google Phone has its advantages, and lets you get the latest update first. Still no word on when FroYo will start to roll out, but this is developing, and you can read the list of new features below.

Sprint Hero’s Android 2.1 update leaked for your Eclair pleasure?

If the Samsung Moment could get Android 2.1 earlier today, then the Sprint Hero getting it officially tomorrow wouldn’t be a shocker, would it? The dude at AndroidCentral called Jerry has gotten word in a leaked version of the OS, which in extreme theory should work. And if it doesn’t, you get a bricked phone. We’re not telling you to try it; we’re just telling where it is so you can try it. (read: Mwahahah!)

Dolphin Browser HD debuts with new features, urges you to drop your browser

In the ongoing war of Android web browsers, and while iPhone owners are leaping for joy just because Opera Mini recently got approved, the idea of Android being “open” has had no better example of that freedom than the new web browsers being pushed out for it. For example, the stock Android browser is fast, but Opera Mini is faster, with the cost of actual rendering. Skyfire supports Flash, and has speed, but is missing proper multitouch gestures. Firefox (or Fennec) will debut with a nearly full browsing experience, but Dolphin Browser HD on the other hand combines all of the above, with awesome rendering and speed (but works only on Android 2.0+ devices). With YouTube (full site) support and multitouch. And extensions. And it’s free. Click the “read more” for YouTube video, after the break, per usual.

Android now works on iPhone 3G, Steve Jobs cringes?

Well, maybe Jobs would just like to stay silent and not say anything about Android, an OS that is rapidly on the heels of the iPhone OS, but that might take quite a while doing so. Moving on to the report, David Wang, who was responsible for the Android/iPhone 2G miracle, has successfully ported Android to the iPhone 3G. Why and how? Who knows, but what we do know is that multitouch, the web browser, texting, Wi-Fi, and most other Android features are intact (check it out in the video above). While there are some buffs here and there, David states that they’ll be smoothed out in a few days. Now are you going to try the 3GS David? Eh? Eh?

Adobe Flash and AIR seen running on a Google Tablet (prototype)

A pretty aware blogger at this year’s Web 2.0 Expo in SF (San Francisco; must I explain everything to you guys?) spotted a Google Tablet prototype. Meaning that at least a prototype exists and it runs Android (why of course it does!). You know were this is going, don’t you? Flash and Adobe AIR runs “seamlessy” on it. Yeah, even on a prototype.  So when Max the blogger saw this, he was certain that every gadget blog in the history of the world would link to him so he gets a ton of pageviews and traffic, because he even has tons of videos demoing apps on it. Head to Max’s site to get the whole scoop over there.

Need Twitter for your Android? OK: Twitter for Android debuts

When I use an Android handset (and when you do too) the first thing you can ask yourself is: what’s the best Twitter client? Seesmic is the usual answer; it has multi-account handling, a slick UI, a widget offering, and tons of settings. But now, there’s a new guy on the block, made by Twitter themselves.
