People are talking about wifi tethering being included, and there are concerns that Verizon might cripple that part of Froyo. However, did anyone think that not every phone will get the option?
I point you to the Android 2.2 Platform Highlights | Android Developers where it says - under Portable Hotspot -
Certain devices like the Nexus One can be turned into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot that can be shared with up to 8 devices.
Notice is says "certain devices." Now, I'm not one for paranoia, but that could mean that not all the Android-powered phones who get 2.2 will have the ability to tether. And that could be just the out Verizon needs to put the kibosh on tethering for the Droid.
Of course, someone can correct me, because I'm probably wrong and reading too much into this.
In my opinion Verizon has stated publicly that tether will be on the Droid I think Verizon will keep tether on 2.2 but have it locked until you purchase a tether data plan. That seems like the logical more likely option Verizon will choose.
