If you are like me then one of the biggest complaints that you may have about Android devices is that you have to manually update your entire app collection one at a time.  There is nothing more depressing than having over 75 apps installed on your mobile device, like your HTC Hero, only to see that 30 of them have an update available in the market place.  Knowing that you have to go through each app one by can be quite a tedious task and often times I will not even bother updating the app unless I know there is something groundbreaking included in this newest update.

If you share in my pain then you may be just as excited as I am about the upcoming release of Android 2.2.  According to a user over at 4chan Android 2.2 is set to come equipped with the ability to allow automatic updating.  This is even better news than a mass updating feature that I was hoping for.  Now Android users will not have to touch anything with their apps and they will be able to update automatically.  While having the ability to multi-select which apps you would like to see updated does have its own functionality this feature of downloading an app and turning on the automatic updating seems to be much more user friendly.  Having that ability to “set it and forget it” will be a great feature if it is actually going to be included in the latest Android 2.2 release.  I know I am certainly hoping that the days of manually updating each of my apps one by one are a thing of the past and automatic app updates are a way of the future, even for the Nexus One.
