Android 2.2 Froyo (May 2010)
Android 2.2 Froyo which was short for Frozen Yogurt was launched in May
2010. Smartphones which have installed Froyo, could take many new
features like Wi-Fi mobile hotspot functions, flash support, push notifications
via Android Cloud to Device Messaging service etc. The first smartphone
Google’s Nexus One was launched with Android 2.1 out of the box earlier in
2010 but it quickly got an update to Froyo later that year. This was a new
beginning for Google as it started working more closer with hardware
manufacturer HTC to use pure Android.
