-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Looking for news about Froyo and Droid/Milestone, I've learned that Verizon users have already gotten the update, while the Milestone should get it in September. So far so good.
Now, Verizon users did receive a Froyo with Access Point and tethering disabled, "because the Droid doesn't have the proper hardware for those features" (see http://www.t3.com/news/motorola-milestone-froyo-update-coming-september?=47713). Of course it is blatantly false, since third party apps already provide at least tethering with 2.1, if you get root access. So it's not a hardware issue, just Verizon that doesn't want people using phone contracts for accessing internet with their laptops. Now, informed users and engineers spot the lie immediately, but thousands of regular users won't. This really gets on my nerves. - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
