HTC’s just issued the following official statement about the status of the “FroYo” Android 2.2 update for the HTC Desire. It’s starting to roll out across Europe this weekend.

Dave Johnston, author of the much missed app beebPlayer, has posted some more information regarding it’s removal and official replacement on his blog. He quotes David Madden, the chap in charge of BBC iPlayer Mobile: The BBC’s syndication policy, [...]
