...
from front page, "Among other new features, Android users will now be able to store apps on external memory, instead of the device's internal storage. This should allow for larger apps, which will include more advanced games."

...uh, like a micro sd card?
I Thought In The Article It Stated That We Will Be Able to Save Apps To External Mem Vs The Internal Storage On The Dvcs??? Am I Reading It Wrong? ๐Ÿ˜•

Android 2.2 Platform highlights:

Link:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlig ... »

Some things that arn't in the news release that people might love:

Exchange/Corporate set up:
Improved security with the addition of numeric pin or alpha-numeric password options to unlock device. Exchange administrators can enforce password policy across devices.

Remote wipe: Exchange administrators can remotely reset the device to factory defaults to secure data in case device is lost or stolen.

Exchange Calendars are now supported in the Calendar application.


Bluetooth:
Dialing over Bluetooth
Improves compatibility with car's and headsets.

Support for more than 256MB of Ram. Newer devices should see signifigant memory increase.

And more ...
(continues)
finally! dialing over bluetooth
So do you think the almighty wireless carrier will disable the wifi tethering that is being incorporated into 2.2?

OMG I CAN'T WAIT!

I can FINALLY go to my favorite sites on my N1 now! I do love the multiple app updates, i have a ton of apps and this will make things easier.

BUT MAN I CAN'T WAIT IM SO EXCITED!
Well since you have a N1 doesn't that mean 2.2 is available to you *now*?
...
Uh,...Google says not just yet, appearently even you N1 owners are included in not just yet.

I read on Yahoo a month or so ago that a lot of Blackberry owners are willing to jump ship for Android, soon we'll see these numbers flip!

Apple does this kind of stuff ALL THE TIME. Taking shots on the competition is how they like to go "Oh we're better at this on that then this company!"
