Just two days after Google unveiled Android OS 2.2, the Nexus One has received an upgrade to the new version.
The latest version of Google’s mobile operating system is the first to include tethering and portable hotspot software.

It is required for devices to run Adobe Flash Player 10.1, which allows the web browser to fully make use of websites that use Flash for navigation, games, and showing video.

Android OS 2.2 also contains a number of other small enhancements, but none of the changes significantly change the platform.

he AT&T version is now available with the T-Mobile version while the Verizon version has been dropped with the HTC Droid Incredible taking its place. With the Sprint HTC EVO 4G becoming available in June we now have to wonder if the Sprint Nexus One will also be dropped soon.

If the Sprint version is dropped then there will be now CDMA version of the Nexus One and the fact that Google sells hardware seems to make less sense.

The Nexus One may be upgraded to 802.11n Wi-Fi when Android 2.2 will ship, as Broadcom and Google have discretely released new drivers for the Wi-Fi chipset of the smartphone. These drivers would enable 802.11n. Although the drivers are not yet part of the operating system, they were compiled for Android 2.1 and were successfully connected to the much faster wireless networking. Analysts observed that the hardware was capable to work at higher speeds but had not been used at its highest capacity until now.

WireFly are always hard at work evaluating the latest and greatest phones and they have written a nice little summary comparison of the Google Nexus One vs HTC Incredible:

In several critical areas, the HTC Incredible is the Nexus One trapped in a different body.

While the Google Nexus One runs the vanilla version of Android known widely as the Google Experience, the Incredible uses HTC’s custom-designed user interface built over top of Android.

Rumors about just when Google’s Nexus One smartphone will hit the market have abounded for months now. The only official word from Verizon about the whole deal was that it was ‘coming soon’ and should be ready by ‘Spring 2010.’

“Expect it before the end of April,” said the source.
