14 DAY TRIAL // South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics has finally started the roll-out of the Android 2.2 Froyo software update for its Galaxy S smartphones in more markets around the world, including the two countries where the smartphone is most popular, namely South Korea and the United States.
In South Korea, the company's homeland country, the software update was expected to become available for download ever since last week, but it appears that things were delayed a little bit.
However, even if the roll-out of Android 2.2 Froyo started one week later, it appears that both Galaxy A and Galaxy S handsets in the country would taste the software solution, a recent article on Samsung Hub reads.
It's a common fact that the OS upgrade should provide users with support for Adobe's Flash 10.1 technology, as well as with speed improvements, the Social Hub, automatic updates for applications, and other enhancements more.
As for the United States users, they should be able to download and install the new software update on their Galaxy S devices in the country from SamsungMobile.com, starting with later tonight.
According to a recent article on TGDaily, the software update should be compatible with all Galaxy S devices on the US market, though no confirmation on the actual deployment emerged at the moment.
It is rather strange that Samsung and wireless carriers in the country did not choose to send the software update over the air, as it usually happens in these cases.
At the same time, it remains to be seen whether the Galaxy S devices in the US will keep the specific applications that wireless carriers pre-loaded on them.
For those who might not know, we should note each of the four major wireless operators in the US released its own version of Galaxy S: the Captivate at AT&T, the Vibrant at T-Mobile, the Epic 4G at Sprint, and the Fascinate at Verizon.
Samsung started the deployment of Android 2.2 for Galaxy S a few weeks ago, and should soon make the solution available for all of its users out there.
