Android 2.2 froyo Sneak peek

Awesome video about android future and its upcoming 2.2 froyo version features from VP of engineering, Google.
It includes nice demonstrations of rich applications and monetization plan for apps. I liked their new features like ability to install apps on SD card and making phone as wifi hotspot.  With earlier versions tethering your phone is a pain, thanks that Google fixed it now.Waiting for HTC to push this update in INDIA.

Here is one of the best articles I found about saving your battery life on android phones.
