We know we’re a bit late on this news, but we’re hoping AT&T Aria users can forgive us since a fresh serving of Froyo seems to bring a smile to most. On February 25th, HTC released their Android 2.2 update for the HTC Aria, making it available to download on their website. To install the update, simply download the 165 MB exe file from the Aria’s download section. Keep in mind that you’ll need to download the latest version of HTC Sync before trying your hand in installing the Froyo update. Once you have HTC Sync installed on your PC, we suggest you do a quick backup of your contacts and other data since the Android 2.2 update will completely wipe your device.
Some of the new features in the Android 2.2 build include:
App Sharing – Allows you to share an application via Bluetooth, Friend Stream, Email, etc.
Latitude – A service by Google that lets you see your friends’ locations and share yours with them.
Navigation – Google Maps Navigation is a Turn-by-Turn GPS navigation application.
Places – A Google service that makes it easy to search and find Restaurants, Coffee, Bars, Hotels, Attractions, ATMs, Gas Stations, and more.
Videos – Links directly to videos that have been taken with the camcorder.
Wi-Fi Hotspot and USB Tethering – Allows the user to use their Aria as a mobile hotspot for up to 8 devices or connect a PC using the Aria’s data connection. A separate data plan is required for this functionality.
For the installation files and instructions, we suggest you head over to the HTC Aria support page.

Hi would you mind letting me know which web host you’re working with? I’ve
loaded your blog in 3 completely different browsers and I must
say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a good hosting provider
at a honest price? Thanks, I appreciate it!
