Just thought i would chum the 2.2 waters a bit

[ayman86]

once google announces froyo, we will know more about whats likely going to happen.

it would be nice if google announce the evo on stage (i believe tomorrow is when they will talk about it)

[skullsdontfade]

i believe this is within the realm of possibilities.

Followed the link. Now I've feel bad that I've been saying that. So it's official I'm wrong.

highly doubt it, need to update sense with it, so i doubt it happens anytime soon. Also, this is coming from the ozcarguide site, immediate thumbs down on the rumors.

[jpsamora]

That would be a pleasant surprise. I should see if my local Sprint store advocate has an Evo yet and what it is running.

Ozcarguide. :rolleyes: These guys remind me of a quote from a famous scientist, talking about a less-than-stellar scientific paper he was reviewing:

"This isn't right. It isn't even wrong." - Wolfgang Pauli

These guys have absolutely no credibility whatsoever. If they say something is going to happen, you can't assume it will. You can't even assume it won't. They just spit out random stuff designed to draw people's attention and get pageviews.

i'm going to be new to android so i don't know how this all works. people have been saying this but is it possible that 2.2 is ready for deployment to N1's and will be released after it's annoucement at IO. and if that's true couldn't HTC already have the update and have already been working on it?

Everyone says there's going to be a huge delay to update SenseUI for 2.2, does everyone really believe that HTC has had no prerelease access to 2.2? I mean, the vast majority of new Android phones are made by HTC, I would think if anyone would have 2.2 roms to test on, they would. The changes between 2.1 to 2.2 aren't nearly as significant as the changes between 1.5/1.6 to 2.1, I would imagine it really wouldn't take all that much to get SenseUI updated. If anything, getting 2.2 roms out to the EVO and Incredible would be their highest priority, considering they just launched/ are launching soon, and not having the latest version of Android on such flagship phones would be a competitive disadvantage again other manufacturers such as Motorola. Of course, everyone seems to treat the Nexus One as if it was made directly by Google instead of HTC.

That's what I've been saying. HTC surely has a development release to work on.
We're only assuming Sense for 2.1 wouldn't be compatible with 2.2.

Either way OZcar agreed with me, maybe I'm the source so it'll be wrong.
We'll see Froyo when Gingerbread is released.
