May 24th, 2010 by ytechcity

The next version of Google’s Android(version 2.2) known as Froyo is already in testing and should be available soon (months). Froyo, short for FROzen Yoghurt, isn’t just a tasty treat anymore, it’s software for your superphone. You might be content with the current software 2.1 (aka Eclair), but we suspect that Froyo will bring some awesome and must-needed improvements.

Even though Google is staying tight lipped so far about exactly what Froyo will include, the direction taken by the past few updates has given us some insight into what this version may include. Here’s what you can reasonably expect from Froyo.

One key new feature that we will be seeing in Froyo is automatic application updates. it’s good for antivirus software. If you have lots of app installed on your Android 2.2 phone, those apps will be updated automatically instead of being updated manually right now.

Secondly, already confirmed in an interview with the New York Times that Android 2.2 (a.k.a Froyo) will come with full Flash 10.1 support.
