About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about Froyo (Android 2.2) focus on its compatibility with Windows systems and its use in tablets. Users report issues with Samsung's Kies Mini software for upgrading the Galaxy S Captivate to Froyo, which only runs on 32-bit Windows, leaving 64-bit Windows 7 users unable to install the upgrade. Several threads cover tablets like the ViewSonic ViewPad 10Pro that dual-boot Android 2.2 Froyo and Windows 7 Professional. Other posts note that Lenovo delayed US Android tablets until Honeycomb, citing that Froyo was not built for tablets, and also canceled a Windows 7 tablet. These topics highlight Froyo's role in cross-platform device scenarios and its limitations for tablet use.
