AMOLED Plus is a new screen design from Samsung, which is meant to remain visible in outdoor light. Although there doesn't seem to be much information about it at the time, it's rumored that the display is a small step down from Super AMOLED.
Many Galaxy S owners have already installed the leaked Froyo build. If not, they have been patiently waiting for their Android update. While it was meant for September, the update is now expected towards the end of October.
