Translation: It can now be pushed out to devices.
2.2 was just officially "launched" today.
Now that it is out as source code, motorola, htc, samsung, etc can all start playing with it.
And how do we get it? Also, what does this new one do that 2.1 dosen't?
Google should've made 2.2 available the same day the Google IO conference took place!!!
So you think this "end of summer" for Droid X getting 2.2 will be a similar timeline for us original Droid owners also?
Hmm, I wonder if "end of summer" mean...

The most common complaint re the Droid Eris, was that it only had the 1.6 OS system. I assume that Eris will be able to upgrade to 2.2 OS?
Free wfi tethering vs Verizon $20 tethering
Does anyone know if a rooted device (such as my Moto Droid or the upcoming x) will support wifi tethering without a $20 addon plan? Or can Verizon enforce no tethering on the rooted device too?
Currently i have a non-rooted Droid and run PDA-NET with free USB tethering. If I root it, I can get Bluetooth.
It depends on if they lock out that feature when they push it. If the Verizon doesn't want Wifi Tether to be available they will probably have Moto tweak the 2.2 that will come out to not have the feature built in.
However, if your device is rooted...
