The Froyo update wagon just keeps on rolling of late; first it was Google's own in the form of the Nexus One, then HTC came out saying that most of their 2010 lineup, including the Desire and Legend, would be seeing Froyo as early as next month. Now it's the turn of Samsung who have confirmed that all the iterations of the Galaxy S will be receiving the update to Froyo. Ofcourse, as is so often the case with these things, Samsung were less than specific on exactly when the updates would be forthcoming, just that Froyowould be rolling out to the relevant handsets later this year. American network Sprint has said though that their Galaxy S device, the Epic, will be receiving an update to Froyo fairly soon so perhaps other devices on other networks shan't be too far behind? Hre's hoping anyway. At any rate all the Galaxy S handsets are to be shipped with Android 2.1 (Eclair) so they aren't too far behind the curve unlike some other handsets e.g. the Sony Ericsson X10.

Mention the word 'update' to owners of Sony Ericsson's X10 and their minds will most probably leap straight to images of an upgrade to Android 2.1. Unfortunately today's announced update isn't a new version of Android (that's stills cheduled for September), but rather a firmware upgrade that addresses performance issues and introduces a new back-up feature. The update promises to improve responsiveness in the UI in general as well as specifically mentioning messaging and the camera. The back-up feature is being touted as meaning users won't have to loose all their settings as well as the standard inclusion of information e.g. contacts, etc. Some X10 users, in 'selected' markets will also see the addition of premium apps and games in PlayNow. The statement from Sony Ericsson's Launch Blog is below:
"This update focuses on improving the general performance, speed and responsiveness of Xperia X10. For example, there are speed improvements in messaging tasks and camera UI. In addition we add a free back up and restore application so you’ll never lose your settings and information. In selected markets, PlayNow™ with premium apps and games will also be added."

Microsoft looks to be seeting itself up to try and take the lead in mobile gaming with the launch of its Windows Phone 7 platform later this year. It's been known for a while now that Windows Phone 7 will use the same XNA framework that is used for building Xbox Arcade games and Oded Ran, Microsoft's head of consumer marketing for Windows Phone, is hoping this will give the company the lead in the mobile gaming space. It will be very easy to port games to Windows Phone 7 according to Ran, in fact involving the addition of just a fe wlines of code "Just four lines of code changed an Xbox Live Arcade game to a Windows Phone 7 game in a recent publisher test". Ran didn't actually mention the game in question, but it certainly sounds very promising and he did confirm that Microsoft will be speaking with its game publishers on Arcade Live to get them to port their content to Windows Phone 7. If it is in fact as easy as 4 line sof code then Windows pHone 7 users can look forward to some pretty impressive gaming numbers in terms of game availability. Apple has been making some major inroads with the range of games available for their iOS powered devices, but Microsoft might just skip ahead here.
