Some lucky dogs over at Android Police have been spotted running the absolute newest build of Android, Froyo 2.2, on a Google Nexus One.  Aside from the appearance upgrades and overall bug fixes, 2.2 is about 4 1/2 times or 450% faster than its predecessor, 2.1 Eclair.

Although this update of the increasingly popular Android OS hasn’t been formally released or advertised, it’s future looks rather bright!  Expect some awesome new hardware to go along with the new speedy system sometime rather soon. If you forgot, Adobe is planning for a flash release on 2.2 too and looking at it’s performance right now on the speedometer, it seems Android is indeed going to rock it! Would this prove Steve Jobs 1000+ word essay wrong? Stay Tuned!

Know what would go great with the new Froyo 2.2? The newly announced Square App for Android.  Stay tuned for more on this!

Lets have a look at the names of Android versions till now

  • Cupcakes
  • Donuts
  • Eclairs

You see a pattern? C,D,E are in a alphabetical order. So next name possibly starts with a F (your guessing it, right?). It surely does and the next version of Android is going to be named Froyo which indicates Frozen Yogurt.

Erick Tseng at the Engadget Show had given out the details. Nice stuff they have got there. Now possibly what could be new features in Froyo?
