Samsung Galaxy S, new features enabled with the Android 2.2 Froyo upgrade

Upgrade for Samsung Galaxy S? Froyo version (Android 2.2) is available for the Samsung Galaxy S. Samsung Galaxy S is the model that hit in the smartphone world. Samsung grows progressively major update to its smartphone OS under flagship Android : The Samsung Galaxy S (i9000). After several delays, Samsung begins to deploy the update to its Galaxy S to Android 2.2. Too bad that migration must necessarily pass through Kies, the heavy and unstable synchronization software house. When the output of S Galaxy, Samsung promised it would be responsive in terms of firmware updates Android. The smartphone has indeed been launched with version 2.1 of the mobile OS while version 2.2 (Froyo) was already available. Expected by the end of summer, this update has finally been pushed back to fall. It is officially available since few days. The millions of users of high-end smartphone South Korea will still have to be careful. Unlike other manufacturers that offer the upgrade mode OTA (over the air, that is to say simply and automatically through the network), Samsung requires its customers to go through the rather cumbersome and very inefficient Kies its synchronization software house (provided in CD or downloadable from the smartphone manufacturer's website). We must therefore first install the software (a long and winded) and connect the USB terminal (after resolving the problem of recognition of USB smartphone that does not always appear in the said software.) It will take a good ten minutes to complete the migration in some instances may crash, as noted by some of our colleagues. In short, Samsung has not chosen the easiest solution and may leave a lot of users (technophiles least) by the roadside ... This update is meant to address the bugs inherent in the terminal as the poor calibration of GPS. It must also provide updates to Froyo, like support for Flash 10.1, smoother operation, support voice guidance in Maps navigation, the ability to preview the contents of his home screens with zoom, a new GMail, changes to the interface ...A model that is the subject of a major marketing campaign, which obviously attracted consumers. Gizmodo found that the upgrade to the version of OS Froyo (Android 2.2) was given to 'our beloved mobile full of bugs "and provided instructions to complete the updating that is not so obvious at first sight.  "In total, we must expect some ten minutes to complete the update", it has been noted on the media site for geeks. According to the Journal of the Smartphone has spotted an official tally mid-October, Samsung has passed 5 million Samsung S Galaxy worldwide since its launch in June and throughout the world (1.5 million U.S. , 100 000 in six days in South Korea ...). In France, Samsung Mobile France has surf and its popularity shows ambitious goals in France sell 11 million phones, including 2 million smartphones (and ultimately win a market share of at least 40% on this sector ).
