Based on breathless reports we're seeing on Twitter and in the XDA-Developers' forums, it would appear that Samsung has just pushed out the official Android 2.2 Froyo update for its Galaxy S as promised. Our Nordic friends are the first to report seeing the build I9000 JPM update in the latest version of Samsung's Kies PC software. It's early days though, so do let your fellow i9000 owners know how it goes in the comments below. List of changes (including GPS fix) listed after the break.
Update: We've just been handed the official press release for the Andoid 2.2 Galaxy S update. Indeed, Nordic countries get it first (starting mid-October, aka, "now") before it's "gradually rolled out to other European markets, Southeast Asia, the Middle East Asia, North America, Africa and rest of the world." Hey, it takes time to update 5 million handsets.
Android 2.2 JPM for the Galaxy S reportedly adds the following:
Android 2.2 JIT compiler
Adobe Flash Player 10.1 compatibility
New Android Market with auto-updating
Speed improvements
Pinch-to-zoom homescreen flyover
Improved default keyboard
Quick links to "GPS" and "Auto rotation" toggles on notification bar added
Slightly different graphics and transitions with app drawer and default icon dock
Colored icons in settings
GPS Fix
Colored settings icons
Media Hub
Darker menu theme, navy blue color
Better Exchange support
Video records in MP4 format
New Search widget
New Gmail application
