Google has taken the wraps off Android 2.2, also known as Froyo, which introduces a raft of enterprise-friendly features to the open-source mobile operating system.

Although the company classifies Froyo as an "upgrade" to Android, the version bump adds functionality such as improved Exchange support, automatic application updates, a major performance boost and the ability to use the smartphone as a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.

Froyo was unveiled last week at the Google I/O conference in San Francisco. At the launch, Google engineering vice president Vic Gundotra said the company had "heard loud and clear from the enterprise that they need very specific features".
