The operating system codenamed Froyo, which is expected to include tethering capabilities, will be delivered to device makers ‘in the coming weeks.’Most Android phones released this year will receive an upgrade to Android 2.2, code named Froyo, in the second half of the year, HTC has announced.

This includes the Desire and Droid Incredible as well as upcoming phones such as the Evo 4G, the MyTouch slide and other future models. HTC said that all its models released this year will “most likely” be bumped up to Android OS 2.2, but made no mention of models released in 2009.

“We are working closely with Google and our other partners to ensure we have the earliest access to everything we need to provide a complete and solid Sense experience on Froyo,” the company said in a statement.

Google officially unveiled Android OS 2.2 Thursday, but hasn’t finished working on it yet. The company has promised the next version of this operating system will be given to device makers “in the coming weeks.”
