Motorola Droid X Android OS 2.2 Froyo Update | Motorola Droid 2 Release Date Finalized
The Motorola Droid X release date is scheduled on August 12, 2010. The new Verizon Motorola Droid X (Motorola Droid 2) will have Android OS 2.2 Froyo installed in it when it’s shipped in the US. Verizon and Motorola did not confirm that Android 2.2 OS (Froyo) will come with the Motorola Droid X. Even the specs sheet of Motorola Droid X indicate that the available Android OS for this phone is not Android 2.2 but rather 2.1 (Eclair).
If the rumor was true, then Motorola Droid X running on Android 2.2 OS Froyo is really a great combo to watch out for. We’re pretty sure it’s going to be a bigger hit in the market compared to the original Droid phone especially in the US where Americans love new gadgets and don’t mind throwing away phones 2-3 months old only. The Motorola Droid Android 2.2 OS Froyo Update (through Over-the-Air, OTA) is, by the way, ongoing in many areas in the US. Good thing the first Droid phone got its share of the good stuff Android 2.2 Froyo has got to offer. Features-wise, these two Android OS versions don’t differ much except for some apps not running in Android 2.1 or lower. If you can live with Eclair’s shortcomings, then, you might not mind having it in your Motorola Droid X instead of the Android 2.2 OS (for the meantime).

Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Messenger Free Download for Sony Xperia X10, Motorola Droid X, Google Nexus One
July started really great with Yahoo Inc. finally joining the fast-rising Android OS market. The internet company just released version 1.00 of its very popular Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Messenger app for Android phones. I even tried it on my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 android phone (OS version is 1.6) but there seems to be a problem with it at the moment. Hopefully, Yahoo will also release a minor update that will support Android devices still lingering in Android 1.5 and Android 1.6 operating systems. However, This is again a strong indication that Android, despite being Google’s pet project, is even being supported by competitors like Yahoo. You can get these two free apps from the Android Market. Unfortunately, only those running Android OS 2.1 or Froyo (Android OS 2.2) will enjoy this first version release. Some models that will be able to run these free apps are: Motorola Droid X (Droid 2) and of course, Google Nexus One. Froyo Update for Google Nexus One phone can be found via the link given so in case you haven’t updated your superphone yet, this is the most opportune time to do that.

Google Android OS Gingerbread Update Will Focus on Better User Interface
Google is bent on releasing Android OS Gingerbread in such a short period of time after releasing Froyo. Google aggressively released new versions of its Android operating systems since its first debut in Fall of 2008 and this trend isn’t going to slow down it seems. Tons of features have been added in the span of less than two years but the user experience has not improved that much. Sources inside Google’s Android team said the next scheduled Android OS update, codenamed “Gingerbread”, will focus more on the user interface rather than adding more features. The recent release of Android OS 2.2 Froyo has made the team felt they have already incorporated all the necessary core features to the OS and now wants to concentrate on the user experience side.
