Ini Dia "Upgrade" Penting Android 2.2 Froyo


MOUNTAIN VIEW, KOMPAS.com — Android 2.2 atau disebut dengan nama kode Froyo (kependekan dari kata frozen yoghurt) akhirnya dirilis. Versi terbaru dari platform smartphone berbasis open source tersebut mulai tersedia bagi para pengembang sejak Kamis (20/5/2010), begitu diumumkan dalam Google I/O di San Francisco, AS, ajang pertemuan tahunan para pengembang aplikasi Google.

Froyo merupakan Android versi ketujuh yang sudah dirilis Google sejak pertama kali memperkenalkan platform ini pada September 2008. Dibandingkan pendahulunya, Android 2.2 menawarkan perubahan atau upgrade yang cukup besar. Xavier Ducrohet, Android SDK Tech Lead, dalam blog Android Developers menyatakan, paling tidak lima perubahan besar ditawarkan Froyo.

Pertama, peningkatan kinerja dan kecepatan. Kompiler Dalvik JIT terbaru yang ada di Android 2.2 menghasilkan peningkatan kinerja antara 2-5 kali dibandingkan Android 2.1.

Kedua, tambahan fitur bisnis. Google telah menambahkan kemampuan Exchange seperti account auto-discovery dan calendar sync. Kebijakan manajemen API kini juga memperbolehkan pengembang untuk membuat aplikasi yang bisa mengontrol fitur security, seperti remote wipe, minimum password, dan lockscreen time out.

Browser lebih kencang. Di Android 2.2 telah dilengkapi mesin JavasCript V8 yang bisa menghasilkan kinerja Java Script antara 2-3 kali lebih cepat daripada Android 2.1.

Paket API dan layanan baru. API baru untuk back up data memungkinkan data dari aplikasi tertentu untuk disimpan dan dipakai kembali jika pengguna melakukan instalasi ulang atau mereset aplikasi. Aplikasi dapat memanfaatkan Android Cloud to Device Mesagging untuk membuat mobile alert, kirim data ke ponsel, dan sinkronisasi dua devise. Pengembang kini juga bisa memilih untuk meletakkan aplikasi di memori internal atau SD card.

Tambahan di Android Market. Saat ini Android Market dilengkapi Android Application Error Reports untuk mengumpulkan laporan dari pengguna kalau ada aplikasi yang tidak bekerja atau bermasalah.

Selain lima peningkatan tersebut, Froyo juga mendukung fitur baru, misalnya, mendukung penuh Flash di-browser dan bisa menjadikan smartphone sebagai router WiFi. Fitur-fitur tersebut membuat smartphone berbasis Android bakal lebih interaktif dan berfungsi penuh.

Samsung Galaxy S Pro With Keyboard Rumored

There are touchscreen only fans and hardware keyboard fans and some folks are adamant about having it one way or another. That’s why when an amazing mobile phone like the Motorola Droid – or in this case the Samsung Galaxy S – are announced, one knee-jerk reaction is to wonder what the phone would be like if they offered an alternate version. We’re all familiar with the practice of adding a slideout QWERTY and slapping a “Pro” on to the end of the name, and that is exactly what HDBlog.it are suggesting will happen with the Samsung Galaxy S. The above picture is only a mock-up and is NOT real. But, rumor has it a phone that looks very similar to the Galaxy S will add the keyboard and start selling in late summer, after the original S has been on the market a couple months. Is there any truth to the rumor? No way of knowing. Would you be happy if the rumor came true?

This week Motorola Droid X joins a small but growing club of devices running Android 2.2 (aka Froyo ). The biggest improvement delivered by Android 2.2 is support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for smartphones. Before Android 2.2, surfing Flash-enhanced sites on a mobile phone was a limited experience only available to a couple of Nokia phones. But now, with Froyo running on around 30 percent of all Android phones, by Google's own estimates that is, we are just starting to get the taste of Flash on smartphones. For many the addition of Flash is a big deal, but the next question is what's there to do now? Sadly, because Flash for Android smartphones is so new there are few Flash sites optimised for the platform that take into considerations sm...
