Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
Google is reportedly moving to patch a Wi-Fi Data Leak in Android. Android devices running Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread are not affected with the exception of Picasa http request.
To my recollection, there are less than a handful of Android devices running version 2.3.4 (and above) including Nexus One, Nexus S and Nexus S 4G. The upcoming Motorola Droid X2 will come with Android 2.2 Froyo.
Thanks to the Wi-Fi hotspot feature on the Nexus One, I have Internet access on the road. Luckily AT&T has pretty good coverage where I am currently at right now. I have never been in this area before.
UPDATE:
I received an email from a colleague late last night:
Weird, my phone updated to 2.2.2 frg83g.
He is referring to his Nexus One receiving Froyo 2.2.2 OTA update. I have a Nexus One also, but I have yet received the Froyo 2.2.2 OTA update. As a matter of fact I’m anticipating Gingerbread 2.3 to be delivered to Nexus One based on the tweet by @googlenexus back in December 20th, 2010. One month in, and still no news about Gingerbread for Nexus One.
I could install a custom Android 2.3 firmware, but I am waiting for the official version.

Google has just released Android 2.2.1 update for Nexus One.
Apple says that “White models of Apple’s new iPhone® 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture” than they originally expected. Previously at July 16 Press Conference, Steve Jobs said that the White iPhone 4 would be available sometimes late July 2010.
What is really happening with the White iPhone 4?
John Gruber summed it up in one sentence:
Every smartphone maker has trouble manufacturing white ones. It’s an industry-wide problem.
Good one, John!
Is this really a “bad news” for Apple?
I know there are people who are holding off buying iPhone 4 because they want the White one. Apple should have just canceled the White iPhone 4 and make them buy the “more popular” iPhone 4 black models.
What in the world is Apple saying?
The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.
Is this some kind of joke?
Apple, you can not say that iPhone 4 black is the more popular model. Because no one can order the White iPhone 4. Not since the pre-order day, not since the release day and certainly not since you have the statement today.
I have no idea what is really going on with the White iPhone 4 manufacturing problem. I am not a telepath. My telepath on staff is currently on a vacation and demanding not to be disturbed. This I know for sure, I am one of the people who are holding off buying an iPhone 4 because I want the White one. It seems that I’ll be using more of my Nexus One, thanks t the Wi-Fi Hotspot feature in Android 2.2 Froyo. (Moment of silence to Google Nexus One Web Store)
Now, it’s time to write a silly email to Steve Jobs.
Is this for real? Google is finally saying something about Froyo update for Nexus One. Starting Monday June 28th, 2010 Google is rolling out Android 2.2, codenamed Froyo to Nexus One users.
I, am iPhone4-less, is si excited and repeatedly hitting the system updates on my Nexus One. Where is it Google?
From the announcement:
In order to access the update, you will receive a message on your phone’s notification bar. Just download the update, wait for it to install, and you should be all set. This update will be rolled out gradually to phones – and most users will receive the notification by the end of the week . We hope you enjoy these new features.
OK, I want my Froyo now……..
