[...] This continues Google’s quick pace of platform updates, though it will take months before existing Android phones make the jump up. This will start the update cycle again for manufacturers and leave existing users wondering when they can get the latest software, a guessing game few consumers enjoy. Last month, Google announced that 74 percent of Android users were running 2.1 or 2.2. [...]

Excited for Gingerbread, although I’m fairly happy with the interface as is. Integration with their VOIP would be nice, but that could also come as an app (or update to the Google Voice app if you have use it).

For me the 2.2.1 update fixed the wifi dropping bug on my Nexus One.

I also would like to know when Gingerbread is due to be rolled out to phones!

I have the Nexus One, and have been reading for months that Gingerbread was due out mid October either on the 15th or 16th. It is now the 14th, but I’ve not read any confirmation that Gingerbread will be released tomorrow, or any other updated release schedule!

Froyo 2.2 is good, but it has some bugs on the N1, like the wifi dropping out when in sleep mode! So I’m hoping Gigngerbead has some much needed bug fixes!

When is Google going to release Android 3.0?
What will be the new features in Gingerbread?
Why doesn’t Google announce the details now?
How come no respect for tablets running 2.2?

I have the iPhone 4 and like the phone, but I also picked up the Samsung Captivate and have rooted, and running Froyo. The screen is very nice and really like the screen size of 4″. I think the iPhone 4 should have been upgraded to at least a 4″ screen. I know others won’t release Gingerbread first, but as long as we can either install it, I will keep my Samsung Captivate. I do like the Nexus One, which for a while was thinking of getting. :)

Great unbiased article! What is the world coming to??

Many of us by the way have the Nexus One simply because we KNOW it will have Gingerbread first.

And I so nearly bought the Galaxy S until I saw what they had done (or not done) with earlier Android updates.

Manufacturers and operators alike are coming round, and I think we’ll see the better ones differentiate not by the UI but by the speed of upgrades.
