Froyo Arrives on the HTC Incredible

180 words.

Verizon pushed Froyo (Android 2.2) to my Droid Incredible this past week.  In a nutshell, the changes are unremarkable.

There is one new app called 3G Mobile Hotspot which would be super cool except Verizon doesn’t let you use it without paying an extra $30 a month.

The browser supposedly supports Flash 10.1 but the only improvement in my browsing experience is that I can now visit live.twit.tv.  Not that I would want to since I’m sure that would drain the battery in about 2 minutes.  Other Flash video sites like CNET still don’t work, so still no listening to Buzz Out Loud’s occasional live event coverage at work.

There is no evidence of the much-hyped speed improvements.  I probably wouldn’t notice anyway since there was never any sluggishness on the Incredible to begin with.

Honestly the most obvious change is that the GMail app has an extra navigation button.  There are 4 buttons on the bottom of the screen now instead of 3 when I delete my spam.

All in all, it’s nothing special.  Kind of a disappointment, actually.
