Why I am Personally Looking Forward to Froyo

So I’ve finally got my phone back from T-Mobile. It has been repaired perfectly. However, after rooting, flashing CM5, and running my usual Titanium Backup restore, when I went to download any updates for my apps, this is what I was presented with.

Yes. I had almost three full ‘pages’, as it were, of available updates (on a G1 screen). And I now have to update each one of them manually. This may take a long time, and as much as I hate to admit it, the fact that an ‘Update All’ button, which the iPhone has had since the App Store was first launched, is only coming to Android in 2.2 (almost 2 years after the first Android device was first released) really doesn’t reflect well on Google. But the fact that Froyo will have such a button is at least something…I guess. Sorry Google, but until Froyo is released, this is an area where Apple has the 1-up.
