The guys over at Android Police just passed this little snippet of information to us that confirms the USB Tether and WiFi Access point/mobile hotspot capabilities, built right into the core of Android 2.2 Froyo are for real and working nicely.
Who really knows if this functionality will be available when you purchase your phone from your local carrier as most of the carriers don’t like the tethering features due bandwidth usage. Nice to know it’s in the core of future Android and your local neighborhood developer should be rolling these updates in to future releases.
I’m sure we’ll all be learning more of the new features in Froyo next week at Google IO and let’s hope we get some updates for our phones soon after that.
Stay tuned for more info.

Nice, but now how will mobile carrier will deal with this????
They will either limit your bandwith or it will hurt companies that provide internet for the home. Mine constantly goes out at my house so im constantly hooking up my phone and using the internet through it.

Hm. There goes Sprint’s exclusive config on the Evo. XD
I’m starting to think that the Evo basically IS 2.1 with a bunch of 2.2 features modded into place.
