According to reports from the Androidandme website, Google has started to test the next firmware: Android 2.2 in a report table. Although Google decided not to announce the future Android public roadmap last year, there is not much information in the current Android 2.2 system, but some of the main features of Android 2.2 can still be seen from the collected information.
