    Engadget have reported this.

    Im hoping that my meteor HTC desire will be included in this. It says that operator specific versions of 2.2 will roll out later...not sure if that means meteor phone will be updated now or later.

    Well iv had an ipod for the last 7yrs. I wasnt too tech savy 7yrs ago. Its just iv never tried anything else. Is it possible to trasnfer all music to another player and keep all album names/track names/artists names because im very particular about the names. Everything must be perfect and my iTunes is perfectly done.

    What are peoples problems with itunes. Iv never had a problem?

    an update, nice one.

    how do i check if mine will be able to get the update? the article suggests once you're unlocked you're ok. i got mine on o2 prepay and it came unlocked from cpw.

    anyone know how big these updates usually are in terms of megabytes?

    thanks

    I don't know, may be because its fashinable to hate apple?

    I think iTunes is great, love that it keeps track of playcounts. i've built up two years worth of listening and don't want to lose it, so havent switched to my desire for music until that gets sorted!

    Lets see what htc have to offer.

    I have a feeling by weekend, they will mean sunday or something annoying, leaving us waiting all weekend!

    That's what I was referring to.

    But I hope it's real syncing, and play count and all. There is loads of apps out there to get music from iTunes to the phond, and let's hope this goes the other way too.

    No its not usually "just" software. It requires fast processing and suitable graphics processor. The Desire had all this required hardware to start with, but they had not perfected the HD software side before release so it shipped with standard 800x480 recording. Now the softwrae is ready.
