don't get too excited. froyo's apps2sd is different than one you get with rooting your phone. with froyo it's up to app author to decide if his app may install on sd card or not.

If this is true and they get Froyo on my Desire just one month after the Nexus they will have me forever. I have not rooted yet because I'm afraid and because I have faith in HTC (Hero owners probably disagree with me). I am counting on the fact that the Desire (and brothers/cousins) is their flagship and will probably be for another 5-6 months. I trully beleive no other GSM phone will beat it this year, at least not price/performance wise.
@HTC: this is one test you really have to pass. You have to build confidence, people that buy your products need to know their investment in you is seccond to nothing. The branding/ad campaign is brilliant but now we need some facts. Make us proud!

This is a very good point, I'm sure not many people understand this. However I'm pretty sure once it's possible many developers will upgrade their apps to enable this, especially if users flood them with emails asking for it.

he did say some apps, we will have to wait and see

Some apps probably just implies "non-stock" apps; since they are locked to the internal memory in stock roms anyway.

This might be what we were waiting for =D

This is awesome if true

Not that big delay ha?

chrmrt · May 23, 2010

I had a USB bricked Desire, but went to the store and convinced them to give me a new one..
now i have been trying to figure out whether to try rooting and get a nexus one port of 2.2,
but with these news i dont think i will risk it just yet..

hope this date holds true, that would be awesome!

XDA mark · May 23, 2010

Maybe a stupid question... but why would HTC not want everybody to know that they will bring FroYo so fast? This is good news, not bad. If I would be HTC, I would tell this good news to the whole world.

Anyway, I was and still am sure that we will have FroYo before August starts.

Phil750123 · May 23, 2010

They said press release 2nd half of the year, but they also said something about we will publish details when we now them ( meaning might wait til monday maybe) and also said something like not 100% guarenteed as they might hit problems etc...

Not sure I would count on this too much. Yes it is a possibility, but it may not be also. I used to work in a call center, and from experience I know some people say there will be an update soon just to get the customer off the line. I have had to deal with the backlash of customers not getting the update the previous person told them was coming out. Hopefully it is accurate information though. Would be nice nice to get 2.2 soon

In the words of John Mackenroe "You cannot be serious!"

Although I suppose it all depends upon your definition of "... a few ..."

The Desire's available memory is possibly the largest in an Android handset to date.

But that was a good bit of leakage to post to all of those waiting eagerly for Froyo on the HTC Desire

This isn't true and they even explicitly said this in the IO Presentation.

Apps2SD in Froyo can work automatically, the system will decide weather or not to install the app to the SD Card (Presumably, if your internal storage is full, apps are then installed on the SD Card)

You also have the option to manually transfer from Phone to SD and vice versa which is what they demonstrated, probably because they couldn't demonstrate an automatic process.
