Yesterday the Android Developers team released a statement that the Android 2.2 SDK has been refreshed, and the new version matches the official version that is currently running on many Nexus One handsets. They also confirmed that the ability to save apps to the SD card (a popular question on the AndroidPIT forums) will be an option left up to the developer.
At Google I/O, a version of the Android 2.2 SDK was released, but was based on an early Nexus One build according to Phandroid's story.

It's quick, it's easy, and it's available here."
