Yesterday we reported on how HTC intends on upgrading most of their 2010 models with Froyo before the end of the year is up, but for the forefather of Android, the game won't continue with Android 2.2. The T-Mobile G1 in itself brought on the onset of Google's presence in the mobile space, but it has somewhat faded of late due to the overwhelming amount top-tiered Android handsets taking prominence. During the events taking place at Google I/O, the Android team had the unfortunate task of letting people know that Android 2.2 Froyo would not be coming to the aging T-Mobile G1 due to the fact that there won't be enough space of the operating system to fit snug in the flash space. However, we wouldn't doubt that some hardcore fans will somehow manage to hack it for the device – which shouldn't come to be as a surprise with Android's nature.
