Universal Androot Hits The Market, One-click-rooting For 23 Android Phones

If you thought it was hard to keep track of all the ways to root your Android device, you might remember the Universal Androot program which allowed one-click rooting of certain Android phones. While the list of supported devices was pretty thin back then, the program is now ready for prime time and has hit the Market with support for many phones, even devices that sport Android 2.2 Froyo, 2.1 Éclair, 1.6 Donut, and even phones on the ancient 1.5 Cupcake.
