OlivePad Gets an OS Update, Now Runs On Android 2.2

Even though we really haven’t seen the OlivePad on shelves or anyone using it, it’s still a touch of pleasant news that the tablet’s getting an OS upgrade. When we reviewed it , it was running Android 2.1 (eclair) and now it’s coming packed with Froyo (Android 2.2). This means the device will support USB tethering and will be a portable wi-fi hotspot. Since we reviewed it, it’s also gotten a final price tag. It’s going to sell for Rs. 25,990 (inclusive of taxes).
