“Android 2.2 (codename: Froyo) is a minor SDK release, but it
still packs some punch, providing both developers and users with
some much-anticipated features. After attending the Google I/O
conference and witnessing the Froyo announcement, here are the top
ten features (in no particular order) that we think developers
cannot wait to get their hands on.“1. Flash 10.1 and AIR Support
“There may be some disagreement about the viability of Flash on
mobile, but it’s coming to Android phones. Whether or not Flash is
the future is really not the question; for now, Flash is pretty
pervasive on the web, so cutting it out is in effect cutting out
many of the dynamic web apps users already enjoy.“Beginning with the Froyo release, Android users will be able to
download the open beta version of Flash 10.1 as well as AIR support
(in the form of an Android application) from the Android Market.
This decision substantially expands the number of web applications
and sites accessible to Android users and widens the development
community for Android substantially”
