Playing with Hulu+ on the iPhone. No pause/resume when switching to another app. $9.99 a month, with ads. I think not. #

I've just updated GoogSMS and SpellIt to allow for changing the installation location to the device's SD card under Android 2.2 (FroYo).

I've also added a couple new query types in GoogSMS, Airlines and Time.

As usual the up-to-date source code is on my public svn repository.

I wonder how many people called AT&T because of all the "journalists" claiming they are pushing FroYo to the Nexus One… #
@RussB Use @TheAppBrain, here's what's installed on my Nexus One: bit.ly/bZXmwp #

Make a new dock, make a new overpriced bumper case. Make them so they don't fit together. Another brilliant Apple move. #

Here are the steps I used to manually install FroYo (EPE54B to FRF85) on my AT&T bound Nexus One:

Download the update from Google's server.
Move the archive to the root of the SD card, rename it: update.zip
Shutdown the phone by holding down the power button, and then selecting Power-off. Wait for the phone to shutdown.
Hold the volume - button and press the power button together, wait for the white boot screen.
Select Recovery using the volume up and down buttons and then press the power button.
As soon as the Android robot holding a sign with an exclamation point is displayed, press volume +, volume - and the power buttons together.
Select apply sdcard:update.zip with the trackball, and press the trackball.
Select reboot system now when the update is done.

That's it. Pretty straight forward.
