New Android OS turns handsets into mobile hotspots

20th May 2010, 22:03

Coming soon to an Android smartphone near you, version 2.2 of Google's mobile OS boasts the ability to turn "certain" Android handsets into mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, capable of wirelessly sharing their 3G connections with up to eight other Wi-Fi-enabled devices. Also on tap: Flash support.

Google formally announced Android 2.2 — code-named Froyo — to its developer community Thursday morning. There's still no word on precisely when specific Android handsets will get the update, beyond Google's promise that it should arrive in the "coming weeks."
