, Jun 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

Android 2.2 Froyo for the Google Nexus One has finally been officially released, with FRF85 set to arrive on most Nexus One handsets by the end of the week.  Replacing the standard Android 2.1 install or the unofficial Froyo FRF50 or FRF72 builds that have been floating around for several weeks now, Android 2.2 Froyo FRF85 brings with it WiFi tethering, Adobe Flash 10.1 support and a new lick of speed.

FRF72 Android 2.2 Froyo beta leaks for Nexus One

, Jun 19th 2010 Discuss [0]

A new beta of Android 2.2 Froyo for the Google Nexus One has leaked, courtesy of a source at xda-developers.  The new ROM, FRF72, is believed to be the same build as was distributed to Google employees last week, and requires FRF50 be installed first.  The FRF72 beta has only been in the wild for a short time, though those who have installed it are reporting that there are no noticeable feature changes in comparison to FRF50.

The Daily Slash: June 17th 2010

, Jun 17th 2010 Discuss [0]

We're at the tail-end of the week, but that's not slowing us down. Welcome to tonight's edition of The Daily Slash. We're glad you could make it, as usual. Tonight, in the Best of R3 Media, we've got the Nexus One launching with Froyo, the Nintendo 3DS won't make it across the pond for awhile, and the iPhone 4's got some RAM under that hood. And then in the Dredge 'Net, Microsoft is promising a new mobile OS -- kind of, there's already someone waiting for the iPhone 4, and there's even more doubt about the HP Slate. Read The Full Story

SMS bug creates Android messaging confusion

, Jun 10th 2010 Discuss [0]

As if we needed another reason to be careful about our sexting habits, an apparent bug on Android devices is causing text and multimedia messages to be sent to unintended recipients.  Multiple Android users are reporting the fault on Google's support forums; the native messaging app on their phone - several models have apparently been affected, including the Google Nexus One and HTC Incredible - replaces the selected recipient of an SMS or MMS with a different identity, sometimes only showing the switch after  the message has been sent.

720p HD for Nexus One closes iPhone 4 gap [Video]

, Jun 9th 2010 Discuss [0]

With the iPhone 4 and Motorola XT720 both coming to market with native 720p HD video capture, it's time for the Nexus One to catch up or give up; happily, thanks to xda-developers, a new firmware hack can grant the Google Phone high-def camcorder skills.  Currently available for Nexus One handsets running Android 2.1, and with a test version for those running 2.2 Froyo on their phone, it allows for recording at up to 1280 x 720 resolution.

Nexus One Used as a USB Host, Thanks to Hack [Video]

, Jun 4th 2010 Discuss [5]

For many users out there, one of the better parts of having a phone powered by Google's Android Operating System, is that with a little tinkering, you can pretty much do whatever you want with it. That's mostly because of the Linux running in its veins, but that's definitely not a bad thing. And while rooting is a great way to get what you want done (as this project clearly demonstrates), it's the results that matter the most. And if you've ever wanted to make your Nexus One a USB host, be happy that it's now possible. And has been done, on video. Read The Full Story

SlingPlayer Mobile for Android hands-on [Video]

, May 28th 2010 Discuss [0]

Sling Media have released a brief demo of their new SlingPlayer Android client, but we fancied a better play and so managed to grab a copy of the beta for ourselves.  Loaded up on a Nexus One, the control process was just as straightforward on the Google phone’s 3.7-inch display as it looks on the EVO 4G’s 4.3-inch screen; picture quality is decent, and while there are a lot of on-screen controls – since they’re basically recreating your full set-top box remote in the mobile client – after a little use it’s all reasonably familiar.  More first impressions – and a demo video – after the cut.

Android 2.2 Froyo on Nexus One Right Now Isn’t the Official Release

, May 25th 2010 Discuss [0]

To anyone out there that's running Android 2.2 right now, what's being lovingly called Froyo by Google and everyone else, you're probably having some pretty smooth sailing right now. And with that smooth sailing, and all those bundled features for your heart's content, you probably assumed that this was the final build from Google that got pushed out to some Nexus Ones last week. That's apparently not the case, if a Google employee is to be believed. Read The Full Story

Froyo is delicious: Hands on with Android 2.2

, May 24th 2010 Discuss [12]

Last week Google formally announced the newest version of the Android family. Known as Froyo (or Frozen Yogurt; Android releases are all named after desserts and I can’t wait to see what they do with the letter X) or more properly Android 2.2, it offers a number of enhancements and fixes to the Android platform. I’ve been testing Froyo on a Nexus One (currently the only device supported by 2.2) and here’s what’s in there, good and bad.

Nexus One Android 2.2 update imminent; HTC Sense versions in 2H 2010

, May 21st 2010 Discuss [0]

Google weren't shy about confirming Android 2.2 Froyo's star features at Google IO yesterday, but definitive timescales about when Android-addicts (other than developers) could actually get their hands on the OS were in short supply.  That's beginning to slowly change, with the official Google IO Twitter account announcing that the Nexus One would get Froyo in the "next few weeks".  As for other manufacturers, so far only HTC have stepped up with their plan.
