Google is rolling out Android updates to the Evo and Incredible from HTC and the Droid from Motorola, adding extra features such as mobile hotspot functionality and Flash support.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based company said the smartphones will get the new software, Android 2.2, dubbed "Froyo," in the next few days.
The software has new improvements, including speedier application performance, a faster Web browser, tethering -- to turn the device into a mobile hotspot unit -- and support for Adobe's Flash 10.1.
"Android 2.2 is a minor platform release including user features, developer features, API changes and bug fixes," Google said in a statement.
The company, which first announced Android 2.2 back in May, said owners will automatically receive a notification asking if they would like to upgrade their software.
The release coincides with the launch of the Droid 2, Motorola's latest Android-powered device for Verizon.
