Good news for all you Froyo lovers out there, and really, who isn’t? Google is spreading the love of frozen yogurt this week by pushing out the FRF83 update to the Nexus One, the official final Android 2.2 update. Yes kids, it’s here.
As well as releasing the source code for developers, which means 2.2 will be ported to other phones with the quickness, root may be required.
Probably one of the most exciting features of Android 2.2 is the new Dalvik JIT compiler. Some of you know what that is, but to those that don’t here’s all you need to know. It improves overall CPU-bound code performance by two to five times compared to version 2.1. That means that even if you have a slow phone, it will feel like you just upgraded and overclocked.
Look for speculation and rumors of 2.2 coming to other phones soon in the coming months. Expect the Motorola Droid to be near the front of the pack as it’s been in the past, as well as the MyTouch series from T-Mobile.
