For those who own either the Droid Incredible or Motorola Droid from Verizon, expect to get your Froyo update soon. Motorola Droid owners have been able to download Android 2.2, but, according to Verizon, owners will get a second Froyo update sometime in September. The new update will allow users to download Flash 10.1 from the Android store, once it is out.
According to Mashables.com, Droid Incredible users will receive their update for Android 2.2 on August 18. Like the 2.2 updates, the update for the Incredible will also bring Flash 10.1, faster processing speeds, USB tethering and Wi-Fi hotspot functionality to the mobile OS.
Today, Google released its new Voice Search application, which will allow users to perform functions on their phones using only voice commands. The function is only available to phones running on 2.2 and comes pre-installed with the Droid 2.
So far, Voice Search only has 12 “Voice Actions,” not including search, including navigation to locations, sending texts to contacts, and even leaving yourself a handy note to remind yourself about something. Users will still have to use their hands to complete the actions, however.
The application is out today. Those interested on learning more about the new functions can visit this link.
You can now pre-order the Droid 2 from the Verizon website. The Android phone will cost $199.99 with a 2-year contract and comes with Android 2.2 (Froyo), a slide-down QWERTY keyboard, 3.7inch screen, 8GB of internal memory, and a 5 megapixel camera. Owners can also pay an additional $20/month to use Verizon’s 3G mobile WiFi hotspot capability.
For those that don’t want to pre-order, the Droid 2 is available in-stores tomorrow. The Droid 2 could also be purchased from Negri Electronics, by following this link.
