Motorola DROID to get Android 2.1 upgrade by this week

This is earlier than expected, Motorola has officially mentioned in its Facebook page that DROID will get the Android 2.1 treatment by this week.

Here is the scoop and note that there are some differences compared to the Android 2.1 of Nexus One:

• It looks like it’ll be based off the Android2.1-update1 build that Google put out last week on the Nexus One.
• So do expect multitouch in the browser, to go along with the pinch-to-zoom that was enabled on the Droid for Google Maps just last week.
• Google Goggles will be included in the ROM by default.
• The Droid’s home screen remains as is – it still uses the app drawer
• No live wallpapers.
• The news and weather widget from the Nexus One will be included

I am wondering whether the upgrade will be rolled out to MILESTONE users at the same time.  Nevertheless, DROID users, enjoy the upgrade and join the world of Android 2.1.
