Cyanogen Mod has already promised that Android 2.2 Froyo will run on the HTC G1/Dream, the oldest and slowest Android phone. So it is possible for it to run on all those other phones... but the experience might be sub-par in some areas. I understand Google's choice, along with the handset makers, but if I didn't have a Nexus One... I'd feel really left out.
"And after that.. Google has confirmed that Android 2.2 (FroYo) will be available for ION phones, so it’s guaranteed that CM-6 will continue to support the G1 also when the source code hits AOSP."

The Android team says that Android 2.2 won't be coming to the G1, simply because there's not enough space for the OS to fit in the flash space.
I don't know what's up with everyone saying Flash is built into 2.2. I just flashed my phone today with the official Nexus One ROM and can confirm that Flash is NOT in the ROM. Having 2.2 installed, however, makes the Flash 10.1 BETA available to you through the Android market. New phones sold with 2.2 may have that installed by default, however it doesn't seem the upgrade automatically installs it.
There's a dirty, highly-unsubstantiated rumor given by a nameless support staffer that HTC will attempt to have a Desire port for 2.2 out by the end of June. That would be delicious, but given the Hero debacle, I'll believe it when I'm downloading it.

And, of course, this article is only concerned with official updates. It says so right in the conclusion.
Thus ends my random tangent for the day.
Why don't you just root your phone and do it yourself? It'll take 60 minutes.
