A Tweet from the Googlenexus account has announced the above.

Has bug fixes for the Nexus One, video chat for the Nexus S (alas I sold mine) and apparently a few other surprises.

I wonder what?

Hopefully the video chat feature comes to the SGS soon.

All comments are my own opinion, and not that of my employer unless explicitly stated.

Well the surprise wasn't so great

10 chances to win a Nexus S but NZ people are not eligible so unless you have an address in those countries that are eligible, you're out of luck.

Maybe they think NZ is a part of Ozz or maybe they just think we don't matter..

That's pretty advanced since from what I understand the only OTA 2.3.4 has been for the Nexus S with its front and rear facing cameras. There hasn't been a report yet that I have seen for 2.3.4 for the N1 which I am guessing is more like the Desire than the Nexus S.

Out of interest how did you do it?

Have a look at XDA if you want to know what's available. Better than guessing

Since there doesn't appear to be anything special for the N1, I think this time I will wait for OTA than download the zip file and do a manual update.

bikinibottom100: running 2.3.4 on my Samsung Galaxy Captivate - works flawlessly (CM7 rom though)

BTW, in response to my earlier post, I do not recommend the CM7 2.3.4 for Samsung glaxy variants. I have a Galaxy and there are quite a few things which bug me. this is because the 2.3.4 for the galaxy port, is based on the 2.3.4 released for the Nexus.
- your external sd card wont work, only the internal will.This is because the Nexus S does not have an external card input
-Very hard to flash update zips as they need to be in the right format for CM7 (edify scripting as opposed to amend)
-problems with busybox / root access, means you cant do all the geeky things you would normally like to.

Suggestion, if you want 2.3.4, make sure you have a nexus S.

Just got it OTA. Can't see any changes from 2.3.3. I guess will just use it and see what happens.
