We’ve all been patiently waiting for Froyo and the last we heard HTC said they will be releasing it some time in Q3 of 2010.  Well here’s some updated information showing a test build of Froyo on the HTC Desire.

Here’s a few new things I picked up in the video:

  1. Wireless Hotspot application with homescreen control widget
  2. Audio profile widget (quickly choose Loud/Silent/Vibrate)
  3. Ringtone select widget – click to choose your ringtone
  4. Plurk – apparently a popular social networking site in Asia, so this one might be exclusive to the Asia version of the ROM
  5. Torch – an official app which lets you use the Desire as a torch with varying brightness levels
  6. Dock – settings for when you dock your phone in your car kit
  7. 720p video recording (1280×720), not sure what the frame rate would be

Hopefully this means that it’ll be tested out and released shortly, though no timescale is available other than the existing “Q3 of 2010″
