HTC Android 2.2 Updates To Be Completed In 2010

This week, HTC’s global PR and online community Manager Eric Lin indicated why the Android 2.2 update has not been ported to HTC devices.

The basic story is that it takes time to port the apps to Android 2.2 and the effort needed for testing is what is taking so long. Clearly, HTC wants a perfected migration and needs the time to do so.

While waiting a long time is not good to hear, what is good to hear is that the changeover to Android 2.2 will take significantly less time than the Android 1.5 to 2.1 update did, at least according to Lin.

When asked about Android 3.0, Lin also mentioned that HTC may not be ready with updates until 2011. This was an expected answer, since even Google has been quiet on Android 3.0 news.

While no specific release date was given for the HTC Android 2.2 migration, Lin did say that he believes the Android 2.2 updates will be completed by the 2010 holiday season.

    Samsung needs to pay attention to what HTC is doing and provide timely updates instead of abandoning each legacy Android phone as a new one comes out.
