Yes that is Froyo android 2.2

But this is not the official version. you should research a tutorial about getting it back to stock 2.1 before you do this. because in order to get the official update you will need to be back to stock

 

[jmo4267]

I'll check if kies has the update, if not i will try that method..hopefully i won't screw up ;-;
edit2: oh ok, i'll look at how to get back to stock 2.1 also then. If i upgrade to 2.2 will it screw up my 3G/HSDPA/Wifi connectivity? I don't want that happening :S

Oookay! 2.2 (Froyo) will be rolled out for the Samsung Galaxy s in australia this month/next month sometime. So i'll wait till then..in other words, is there any other way i can use my mobile as a webcam?

my Galaxy S is with Optus - they gave me notification sms with link to optus online which then gave me a link to Samsung Australia website's Androis 2.2 upgrade a few weeks back. (link below)
my Kies had stopped functioning also after i'f tried upgrading it from the Samsung site so i uninstalled it and re-installed it from the link on the Samsung upgrade page. It seems to now work perfectly except tha soem warnning pops up everytime o load it saying some thong about usb not functioning??. Using Kies the upgrade to Android 2.2 went flawlessly ...
goodluck and hope this helps
