If Bit.ly stats are to believed, as many as 40,000 people have downloaded hacked versions of the latest Android update to check out whats new in the latest version of the operating system.
The only phone to officially get Android 2.2, codenamed "Froyo" update, is the Nexus One, designed by the Google itself but didn't matched to its hype. The Droid, Evo, and other more high end devices have been released with older version of android OS and awaiting their turn.
Hackers, a week ago got hands on the first unofficial Android 2.2 ROM started getting spread around the Internets.
Peter Alfonso created a download packet for the Droid which seems to install a perfect working build of Froyo, which was spread around on Twitter and Bit.ly. According to the Bit.ly statistics, more than 37,000 people clicked through the download file. However, the download site is no longer valid.
That is quite a large number for a piece of unofficial software, which carries high risks and a sometimes difficult installation process.
Google has confirmed that Android 2.2 will be coming to most of the current Android models like the Droid, Droid X, Evo, and Samsgung's Galaxy S series.
