As we all already know over the weekend TechCrunch revealed that sometime late Friday night or early Saturday morning he received an OTA of Android 2.2 aka “Froyo.” Well, shortly after, and I mean very shortly, the news had spread through the Android community well, like a BP oilspill. And into the early afternoon I as well as many others were running “Froyo” on their own Nexus One’s.
This evening I came across a re-tweet from Developer and Android connoisseur “Cyanogen” originally from RomainGuy, an Android Engineer stating:

“Android 2.2 is being rolled out to a very limited test group. We expect a final build to be available for OTA updates shortly, stay tuned.”
Since Twitter doesn’t provide the absolute time on their timestamps, this tweet was made at around 5:50PM CST. This may be the reason that Google removed the download link that had previously been leaked. So what does this mean? Well, if you are currently having issues with paid apps, new radio discrepancies, etc… then we could look forward to a possible fix if this is true. The speed on “Froyo” is very fast and other than the paid apps issue I have had no other problems with this potential “test” build of Android 2.2.
