from android and me

Circle May 19th on your calendar. This is the opening day of Google I/O and I’m anticipating the release of Android 2.2

The bug was for formatting the SD, in the original posting, it also says one can format on a computer then mount and use, but I agree there likely will be another ota, likely just prior to or post flash, which would make sense...

Yea lets start it all over again:

Will it have pinch to zoom
will it be rootable
when will it be out.
I am so angry at moto/vzw/ google that they are taking so long to send out updates.


Did I miss any of the obvious questions/complaints/ comments.

Will it screw up my root I just put on my 2.1ESE81? LOL If I have to type all those commands on my keyboard again I'm going to have carpel tunnel!

can Google release OTA updates that don't require the phone manufactures to review the code?

wish they would, but ultimately the carrier, verizon in our case, has the final say over google and motorola.

bit on an oversight. play.com has it listed for 89.99 on pre order. bit too expensive still. :-s

lets hope good will come from it and they bundle in more extras with the update

What's this? They're going to charge $89.99 for 2.2??? I'm outraged. Let's start a petition!

Well, to drag this away from humor to reality, I read a few weeks ago that Google is exploring ways to segregate code in a way that would allow smaller updates and enhancements to be distributed via the Market.

The problem, of course, is that there's a big difference between updating an app (e.g. Google Maps) and updating the o/s kernel. I think the conundrum is that the various versions will all have to reach parity before a version of the o/s could be released that would then enable such somewhat more fundamental changes.

I read that article also, interesting idea and would work great to reduce "fragmentation" once they develop an OS that will support it, which is the key to making that work. Then we could easily update the core apps as we pleased. Don't like the Launcher, update it to another..etc, etc.
