will not be on the Droid X. It was confirmed (sorry no source) that it has ghost files in the root, and as soon as you try accessing root it will initiate a "self destruct" mechanism that will perma-brick your phone.
Such a thing is hard to bypass and requires tens of thousands of dollars just in the hardware to develop a way to bypass this. Or ofcourse an official copy of those ghost-file (basically leaked) from Motorola (for their OTA OS upgrades).
What is worse, that process could be implemented on all other future Android devices, destroying XDA-devs and the like and potentially making Apple even more dominant.]]>Jul 15th 2010 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/with-android-floodgates-wide-open-htc-hd2-gets-froyo-and-sense/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/with-android-floodgates-wide-open-htc-hd2-gets-froyo-and-sense/Who mentioned iOS?]]>Jul 16th 2010 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/with-android-floodgates-wide-open-htc-hd2-gets-froyo-and-sense/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/with-android-floodgates-wide-open-htc-hd2-gets-froyo-and-sense/

yea, froyo is very tasty indeed. been rocking it for a while. tried the desire hacked rom for n1 but battery life was killing me (which is prob fixed now but am liking 2.2 too much to go back)
