FroYo - Wait!
At the Google I / O conference today was presented Android v2.2 - FroYo .
Some interesting features about her and her innovations:
Official Flash support ... and more;)
Jit compilation
With its help, it is supposed to increase the speed of work by 2-5 times, according to Google.
To test the quality of innovations with JIT compilation, an example is presented with two Nexus One - on one of them FroYo, on the other - Eclair. FPS games on FroYo do not fall below 30.

Backup API
Wi-Fi Tethering!
And it is activated simply - by pressing "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot".
Browser changes

Market
New ways and methods of searching for applications, searching within applications, (finally!) Moving applications to an SD card, and auto-updating applications!

Advertising
A new type of contextual advertising was announced on Google I \ O - now there is no need to leave the current page to view advertising content. This photo shows the advertisement for Vampire's Diaries and a link to its trailer.
And if you search on Google Maps, then ... on advertising, you can immediately call! For example, in a sushi bar:
Summary
A few other interesting things were presented on Google I \ O - for example, HTC EVO 4G from Sprint, Google TV. However, Android FroYo also deserves attention as a modified, completed OS.
