A new Android 2.2 Froyo build for the Nexus One, FRF91, has begun OTA distribution. Landing on one of our own Nexus One handsets this morning, the update seems a relatively minor one and is only 2.2MB in size. It's been speculated that this could contain predominantly security fixes and tweaks from the previous FRF85 distribution, though so far there is no change log from Google that we can find. Anyone else out there finding FRF91 being offered for their Nexus Ones?

Nexus One owners should see an update notification in the phone's menu bar, and Google say the update is expected to go out to most users by the end of the week.

Things like this are just totally cool. Grant Skinner has figured out a way to allow his Nexus One to be used as a controller for these little race cars. By tilting the phone, the accelerometer in the phone is used to make the car accelerate at a predetermined speed. If you tilt it just a little, the car will go slow. Likewise, if you tilt it all the way down, the car will go faster.

Updated Android 2.2 Froyo FRF72 for Nexus One leaks

By Chris Davies

A new version of Android 2.2 Froyo for the Google Nexus One has emerged, the FRF72 build, seemingly another beta version of the more widely available FRF50 build. Shared by a source at xda-developers, the new ROM requires FRF50 to be installed first, and so far there have been no significant changes noticed by those who have tried it out. If you're feeling brave and experimental, however, you can download it yourself from http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRF72-from-FRF50.bc033f9e.zip; we're not sure how long that link will last, though there are mirrors linked here. Instructions for installing the new beta are here. As ever, installing beta software can leave your phone less than stable, though there are multiple people who have tried FRF72 and supposedly experienced no issues as yet. [via Android Police]
