The Day after Canada Day I was walking around Halifax and got a message on the Nexus phone that an update was ready to download.

By the size of it, it wasn’t a big surprise what it was: the 2.2 update (Froyo) had arrived. There aren’t a lot of obvious changes apart from some small changes to the interface, but most of them  seem to be under the hood. The much talked-about tethering (turn your phone into a WiFi hot-spot) is there, as are general speed improvements.

I also went to the market and downloaded the Flash player which means visiting a number of web pages is much more satisfying. In short, some new features, a bit faster, and nothing broke (yet) – I’m happy. Hopefully other Android users will be getting their updates soon.
