So keep an eye on your phone…
Full statement:
“We appreciate that many of you have been left frustrated with the time it’s taken us to get the Android 2.2 update for the HTC Desire out to you. I’ve read all your comments and it’s obvious that we haven’t been as clear as we should have been in communicating the details of the process to you. We’re as frustrated as you are with the length of time it’s taken to get this update out and we’re looking at ways to reduce the lengthy updates process and communicate better with you moving forwards.
So you’re clear on where we are now and to reassure you it won’t be much longer, this is what’s been happening: Two weeks ago we approved the customised version of the Froyo update. We then sent it to HTC who rebuilt it as an ‘over the air’ package, this took around a week. We’ve since tested it and have approved the ‘OTA’ package today. We have sent it to HTC and we’ve been told it could be live within 24hours and at worse case 48 hours.We’ll have another update from HTC tomorrow morning and if for any reason there is another delay we’ll post quickly explaining why. Thanks for all your feedback, it’s helping us shape a better process.”“We appreciate that many of you have been left frustrated with the time it’s taken us to get the Android 2.2 update for the HTC Desire out to you.

Over the weekend, older versions of Android started receiving automatic updates for Market, bringing it into line with the Froyo look and feel of it. If you haven’t already, fire up the Market and take a look, as chances are you haven’t spotted it yet. (There was no alert to this update due to its automatic nature). You can now add a widget to your homescreen for the Market, and browse apps via the new tabs.
If you’re a peachy-keen Android/Motorola user, then you’re no doubt jonesing for some upgrade action. Well, I have some good news and some not-so-good news on the matter.

One of the new features in Android 2.2 is the ability to move an app from your phone’s onboard memory to the SD card.
