About: I like gadgets, loads! I like talking about them, writing about them, using them, watching other people use them though binoculars... Some would say it was an unhealthy fascination, but then I'd be all like, "Shh...," and go back to doing gadget-related things. Hit me up on Xbox Live or PSN, I'm EJStyleS. I promise to give you a good match as well as talk about things that aren't gadgets. A bit.See Authors Posts (1387)

Samsung is the latest manufacturer to announce (via Twitter) they are bringing their Android phones into 2010, updating the firmware for both the Galaxy and Galaxy Lite to Android version 2.0.

Whilst it stops short of a few of the flourishes that the Google Nexus One has been showing off with it exclusive Android 2.1 paintjob, 2.0 is more than good enough for the Motorola Milestone/DROID currently doing the rounds, and is still a huge step up for the Samsung Galaxy which is currently languishing on the stock operating system it launched with.

The other Samsung phone tipped to get the update is the Samsung Spica/Galaxy Lite, which is yet to get an airing in the UK, but stands to impress a great deal more if it comes with (almost) the shiniest version of Android out of the gate.

Techradar singles out the best things that v2.0 could bring, from Exchange support to the potential for multi-touch…the Galaxy’s appeal certainly would benefit from a second bite at the Android cherry.
