They just gave away Evo 4Gs to all attendees, yesterday they got Nexus 1s and Droids

Froyo is going to rock - watch the youtube of the keynote.Unless apple has a phenomenal 4.0 Android is going to eat their lunch.

So I guess there were no new phones announced alongside 2.2? I hope not, I just ordered an Incredible.

They have announced so much sick shit....apart from handing out amazing goodies.

- Its Android geek out day

hmm... me too - I kindof figured the Incredible should be able to run the next few iterations of Android. Will it not run 2.2+ when those come out?

Will have to watch the Google IO vids later when I have some time.

Pretty excited about WebM myself. It's being called a "game changer", and probably for good reason.

Good on Google for what they've done with VP8.

Cant wait to get 2.2 on my Moto Droid, apparently coming MUCH sooner than anticipated (but we're dealing with Motorola and potential Verizon modification* so I won't hold my breath).

* I'll go out on a limb and guess that Verizon will shun tethering as-is in Froyo

Ah, more good news:

HTC is going on record saying most recent phones (within the past year or so) will get FroYo eventually. Yay!
