The Google Android 2.2 aka Froyo – mobile OS update SDK is out .
1. Faster Speeds: According to Google, Android 2.2 is as much as five times faster than previous versions. That’s thanks to a Dalvik JIT compiler to boost CPU performance, Google said, and a JavaScript engine.
2. Tethering, Hot-Spot Support: As was heavily rumored in the weeks leading up to Google I/O, Android 2.2 includes built-in support for tethering and the ability to use Android phones as Wi-Fi hot spots. Questions remain about whether carriers of Android phones will charge users for the services, but they’re there for Android.
3. Flash Support: Android 2.2 is the first version of Google Android that can fully support both Adobe Flash and Adobe Air.
4. SD Card, App Backup: Both are space-adders: Users can now install Android apps right on an SD card or using an Android phone’s internal storage. Another new function lets users back up and restore Android apps data.
5. Microsoft Exchange Support And Other Messaging Options: Lost amid a lot of the hype around Android 2.2′s most expected features was another nugget that might make Android phones more appealing to enterprises: support for Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT) Exchange. What’s more, Android now includes a cloud-to-device messaging feature that lets users more easily move information between Google applications on the Web and their various devices.
