Verizon Wireless promised to deliver the Android 2.2 Froyo update to the Motorola Droid starting "this week." The update hasn't started rolling out yet, but InformationWeek has already learned some disappointing news about it. According to Verizon Wireless, two of the biggest features being introduced by Android 2.2 Froyo won't be included in the Droid update: tethering and Wi-Fi hotspot creation.

08-03-2010 09:06 AMWhy would anyone care? You can do it for free without their service.
Id put this in the [/care] category, and many others probably will too.
I'm not knocking the post itself, I'm just saying "oh well" pretty much.
Android keeps going, and going..... -

That's like dividing by zero.....A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

08-03-2010 09:46 AMIt appears I might be caught in a paradox.
Verizon says I can't tether, but I'm posting on this website right now through PDANet.
Someone call Doc Brown and see if he can help me restore the time line before this trend continues and I wind up never being born. -
