It's clearly just a mistake on the reporters behalf.

In Italy we have had problems with vodafone (i purchased my nexus one in USA ).
First problem, inside the box they replaced the original headset wich has the music control, with a motorola one. Now after a lot of protests they agreed to sent to all who purchased the phone the HTC headset.
Second, they are blocking the vocal search. I don't know what's the problem, but looks like they are blocking the vocal search because is recognized as VOIP traffic.
Anyway in Italy is sold with eclair and not Froyo.
Hope to see news tomorrow.
Doubt it.
More Froyo release date info....
ben1010 said:
Hi everyone,
I feel your anxiety, and though I'd love to give you all a definitive date, that's not possible, because there is no date. What I mean is, it's not that there's a Froyo release ready to go, and we're holding it back, or waiting for the right time to release it. That's not how it works. Software development is an iterative process, and each release candidate goes through extensive testing. Sometimes, the testing exposes issues introduced in the new version, and the release gets delayed as a result. And so, although we know that we are pretty close to having a final build, we won't be sure of the release date until it arrives, and at that point the release goes out to the public without any further delay. It's a bit like a baby -- the delivery date is a best guess, but if the baby has other ideas, we all have to wait ...

Sucks to be right but if you didn't see this coming I don't know what to say.
Nothing to do now but sit back, relax and wait.
P.S. What we saw at the I/O wasn't really even that close to the final release candidate. They were just being overly optimistic and hurried to give Apple something to worry about. Can't blame them though.
They seriously got a date 6/23 for the desire to be upgraded. But not for the n1?
This is bull. The thread makes it sound like n1 will not be the first to get the official 2.2......
This is BS if this is true.

I hope that is the case..you may be mad, but some of use like Desire 10x better than any standard N1 Rom, cyogen Roms. In fact, 2.1 N1 standard Rom is unusable IMO. If you don't have full Exchange support built into your mobile device, you are not a serious consideration for being purchased with huge numbers of people, particularly in the enterprise.
The interface, options/features of the Desire Rom for these apps like calendar etc...is way ahead of the standard Google stuff for N1.
Also, I have yet to find a way to add a standard POP3 account in 2.1 or 2.2??? Just Exchange and Gmail are the options..that is sad. Desire has this built in standard as well as IMAP.
Plus the interface is just slicker and refined in Desire IMO.
I thought talk was later in the year for Desire though?? Not in a few weeks?

Email app --> Accounts --> Add Account --> Manual Set up. The options are POP3, IMAP and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Seems pretty straight forward......

I don't see how it could be with the comments here (6/9 by ben1010):
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=488da0ef21660d13&hl=en&start=493
If there's no final Froyo build then I don't see how it could be passed to HTC to throw sense into the mix. I also don't see HTC releasing an RC as their final build. I'd say the 6/23 date is speculation assuming they get a final build by X date.

Google is having a hard time activating the hologram projector. Give them time.
Seriously though, I think MFG's are finally participating in the AOSP project, which is why the projected dates for other devices are so near and the nexus update isn't out yet. The AOSP code may not be out yet, but everybody in the OHA is privy to the code before anyone else. For example the Droid froyo builds that are out.
This is an awesome thing that all devices appear to be updated withing a similiar time frame. It pretty much means Android is being taken seriously.
Cyanogen needs to join the OHA. =D
androidcodex.com/gingerbread-is-coming.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=gingerbread-is-coming
well, it was always destined to come out before the end of the year, whether the article is correct about the October date is anyones guess.
People have already learned their lesson with how long it took Froyo to come out...
I wouldn't expect Gingerbread any earlier than December with the time Google needs to keep updating it before eventually releasing it.

Don't forget, Google did say that after Froyo they would begin a 6month till next update period, where updates wouldn't come out for 6 months. I figure June (when froyo was released) is 6 months from December so technically it still fits googles model.

Gingerbread sounds delicious
The article repeats rumors knocked down by Dan Morrill
Re release date:
When will other Google products support WebM and VP8?
WebM support in Android is expected in the Gingerbread release (currently planned for Q4, 2010). We expect many other Google products to adopt WebM and VP8 as they prioritize it with their other product requirements. Keep an eye on the WebM blog for announcements.

actually they meant after gingerbread and its going to be yearly not 6 months
Well we might start seeing Gingerbread in October, but probably officially rolls out in December. Sounds about right.
Funny how the article lists phones which meet the requirements but neglect to include Google's Flagship Nexus One.
Currently there are only a handful of devices with these types of specifications, among them the Samsung Galaxy S and the HTC Desire.

We won't see Gingerbread before December. I seriously doubt we'll see it this year. Likely January-February time frame.
An official update from Sony Ericsson UK from 2 days ago:
The update including v2.1 and HD recording will be released before the end of September, and will not be delayed to Q4 like someone mentioned here on the forum.

Good to know that they are aware of the Q4 rumours and have squashed them.

It's not old, it is a new announcement from 2 days ago.
Someone here on the forum claimed that he has some internal information from Sony saying that the updated will pushed back to Q4 due to performance issues, and this new announcement reassures that the update will be released on Q3 as promised before.

I didn't mean old as in the passage of time but rather old as in that specific tweet had been discussed to death already. Was just trying to inject a quick quip before the hordes descended on the thread and flamed it into oblivion.
the announcement is very important. There has been a lot of rumors flying around the market. In this particular time, the consumers do need the official clarification instead of just guessing themselves. Thanks to SE UK for making the announcement again, which should have been done on the SE product launch blog.

Without my upgrade tomorrow to 2.2 all the other kids in my class will think I am 2% less cool than they are!!
I read on the interwebs that Sony lied to me, and I will never ever ever ever forgive them. And I am going to cut myself.

Was wishing to get it before school starts.. Guess not... BTW, we get to keep all our stuff/settings in the update right?

Heh, airplanes take years to design, test and build. The 747 for example started development in 1965 before entering service in 1970.

But to carry on the analogy, porting SE's UXP to Eclair is more like taking a built 747, redecorating it, and putting some useless demo apps in the cockpit to help navigate .

More like taking the blueprints for a 747, building a new body but keeping the infrastructure underneath while adding a fourth floor. It's not as big of a task as building it from scratch but it while take considerable time to develop, test and then finally build it. Might not take five years, but getting it done it under two would be a massive accomplishment.

How can anyone be sure that is a real email? I mean why would samsung execs, or anyone else that might make decisions upon receiving this news need the particular screen shots attached. Do they need a screen shot showing the version to believe it!?

Every day is painstaking as I wait for froyo... Mainly I want HID support, but I don't wanna flash to the beta leaks yet.
Surprisingly all the leaked builds suddenly seems to have stopped after JPK! I wonder why Samsung keeps us all guessing and dying here out of anxiety...is it really hard for them just to say what they have on their minds?!?! Even if they slip on the date, they can atleast keep us posted....not like we'd eat them up for slipping a date :|
hmph!
All this waiting is gonna give me a heart attack... At this age!! come come oh sweet flash! :-D
Look at the date on the korean mail ....

On a Side Note:
Unfortunately I could never RESPECT HTC being an OEM for HP and many other brands, still it could never develop products which really appeal me. Samsung on the other hand came with some of the firsts of times like Voice Dialing, Super AMOLED to name a few.
My only complain about Galaxy S is the lack of touch sensitive middle button which could have acted as a trackpad! Also, lack of physical keyboard pains a bit, but I hope Android can really come to terms with Windows Phone which is limited in flexibility like iPhone. Android has their own problems being on initial stage.
Please excuse for dragging the discussion to another angle, however, I believe Samsung is also in infancy like Android while HTC is gradually maturing (though long way to go, not sure if they will ever make it).
With Galaxy S, Samsung made the right move, at the right time. They just need a good development team now to improve their software platform, features and flexibility of this phone atleast in terms of multimedia and performance (the features which best suit this phone).
Sorry for the long post, however I hope Samsung and we at XDA can really work wonders to this phone atleast in terms of multimedia support and features like simultaneous recording and playback of HD Audio (24bit 96kHz) which I believe this phone is capable of including call recording option atleast through a third party app. Hope this could be realized by the Froyo release or further updates, or through the capable developers of XDA.

I don't know about you, but i find this kind of weird.
Nobody at Google says anything about Android 3.0.
CES 2011 comes and Motorola shows up with a tablet which only runs a bunch of hypothetical movies about the supposed Android 3.0 experience. They say they'll start shipping it on the 14th of February.
Doesn't it seem odd that with only a month to go they don't have at least a beta version to show at CES, just a bunch of videos and they plan to start shipping it a month from now?
Am i missing something here? I remember the Android 2.2 update for the Galaxy S as an example. They announced the SDK in May and many only got the update in november. So it took 5-6 months JUST to make an existing system work for the Galaxy S, not invent it. And now they are a month away from shipping a tablet with a stable version and they just have some videos..
They did a live demo
