"Samsung Mobile has just announced that the Galaxy S will soon be getting Android 2.2 (a.k.a Froyo). The update will begin deploying in European markets and then gradually roll out across the rest of the world.\nSamsung has stated that the Android 2.2 update will be made available via its Kies software upgrade program. Kies is a desktop application that is currently only compatible with Windows. We presume that as Froyo hits areas like North America, it will also be distributed via over-the-air (OTA) updates, so OS X users won't be left out.\nTo date, nearly all of the significant Android devices have already received Android 2.2 updates; the Galaxy S will be one of the last major Android devices to receive it. The update will include:\n\nAndroid 2.2 JIT compiler\nAdobe Flash Player 10.1 compatibility\nNew Android Market with auto-updating\nSpeed improvements\nPinch-to-zoom homescreen flyover\nImproved default keyboard\nQuick links to \u201CGPS\u201D and \u201CAuto rotation\u201D toggles on notification bar added\nSlightly different graphics and transitions with app drawer and default icon dock\nColored icons in settings\nGPS Fix\nColored settings icons\nMedia Hub\nDarker menu theme, navy blue color\nBetter Exchange support\nVideo records in MP4 format\nNew Search widget\nNew Gmail application\n\nThere's nothing particularly revolutionary about the featureset if you've used Android 2.2 on another device, but it's definitely good news for Galaxy S owners.\nDisclosure: Samsung is a Mashable sponsor.\n[via BriefMobile]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
