Eventually upgrade to android 2.2?
 

I am seriously considering changing over from my Imagio to the Incredible, and was wondering if anyone knows if this phone will be supported to be able to load Android 2.2. I probably will switch anyways, but this will help make the transition faster than it probably would otherwise.

from the way it looks to me we would only get it offically if htc and verizon team to release a update!! devices like the n1 are google experince phones and probly end up getting it first offically!!

now we will have a cooked version asap once the process for rooting is dropped!!

of which brings me to my next question. Can you download any program for the droid and run it, or does it have to come from the market place only?

Now you have to get the apps from the Market. You can't use WM apps at all.
Rumor is , 2.2 will be here in June.

you can run any app, just enable it in settings. That doesn't require root. However if the app requires root to do something the system won't normally let you do, that functionality won't work yet.

Article over on phonearena today claims Android 2.2 will be twice as fast as 2.1.

Ya I am aware of the android only programs, as there are only iphone and wm programs as well. Looked back on that statement poor choice of words, :read: but that is what I was wondering regarding downloading freeware from other sites and being able to run. But in regards to the market place are there free programs to download? Sorry for all of the probably dumb questions, but using windows mobile for the past 4 years and counting, I am used to finding a program I want, downloading it, and installing it. Never used any kind of market place.

Lots of free apps on the Marketplace.

I switch from the Imagio to the Increbile myself the day the incredible came out. I love it and I don't think I will be going back to Winmo!! Just my two cents since I saw you would be coming from the imagio.

I have heard the DI will be getting the Froyo upgrade, but VZW is always slow about these things. Our best bet for it is ROOT.

Re: Eventually upgrade to android 2.2?
 

The people working on root are saying htc went above and beyond to keep this phone from being rooted.

2.2 is to have WiFi Hotspot integrated as well.

for the chips with Wifi N it will also enable Wifi N

we will see more of 2.2 "froyo" on May 19th

if you want to see the news the day it happens, download the Google I/O App.

How?

Download Google I/O from marketplace on your Droid.

or snap this with your Droid using QR reader or Mobiletag

**Warning!! There is an app on marketplace that asks people to send them to Google I/O by donating, be careful not to download this app. All the app does is have a shortcut to send the maker of the app a donation***
