Google's newest version of its Android operating system, Android 2.2 -- better known by its nickname, "Froyo" -- is expected to start hitting handsets any day now. But there's still plenty of confusion over which phones will get Froyo and which will be left in the cold.

PCWorld Reviewers' Favorite Downloads: May 2010In PCWorld Downloads, our reviewers sometimes find fascinating new files...and sometimes develop a fresh appreciation for the tried-and-true. This May, both scenarios played out. We ran across handy little utilities for system tray use and Office improvements. We reviewed tools for DVD-ripping, energy conservation, general tweaks, and more. And with all that work done, we felt fine about relaxing with a physics-based desktop toy and a classic game.
