Froyo finally getting some traction

Good news for Android lovers – Froyo is finally rolling out to more handsets. It’s sad to see that it’s taking so long for carriers to start upgrading their users to the best version of Android yet, but at least it’s finally happening.

Froyo is a significant upgrade for the Android OS, and users still on 2.1 and below are really missing out. It’s not only important for the users, but also for Google and carriers, because this will significantly improve users’ experience of Android devices. With more people enjoying their Android phones, one can expect greater Android adoption and acceleration of Android sales.

Also important to note is the fact that the Android fragmentation situation is vastly improved, with Google making sure Froyo runs on most of the Android phones out there, and slowly decoupling newer features out of the OS, into independent applications. This way, all users can enjoy the base experience of the latest Android versions, with more advanced features available as applications for the newest phones.
