Motorola DROID to get Android 2.1 upgrade by this week
Feb 9th
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.

Google Nexus One to get multitouch outsie US?
Jan 8th
That’s a piece of good news to those who stay outside US. The Google Nexus will have multitouch enabled when it is sold outside US.
According to heise.de, a test unit of the Nexus One in Germany shows it is able to do pinch and zoom on the screen. It is the same story like Motorola‘s DROID and MILESTONE. And it is unlike those units previously saw in US that 2 fingers operations on the screen are not possible.
I guess Google is avoiding a law suit situation from Apple when it is released in US. Or may be it is an agreement between Google and Apple that Google will not release multitouch stuffs in US.
I have just ordered a Nexus One from Google web site and it is to be shipped to Singapore. I am crossing my fingers now that I will get a unit with multitouch enabled.

Motorola has just announced a good news to the DROID (a.k.a. MILESTONE) and CKIQ (DEXT) users, the Android 2.1 will be available on these 2 phones as well. You will be enjoying the goodies that the Android 2.1 has and the fantastic hardware from Motorola.
The other good news is that Motorola is working hard to bring the Flash 10.1 to the platforms as well. So do expect a full working Flash 10.1 to be available soon.

Video of Android 2.1 on Motorola DROID
Dec 21st
Amazed by the screenshots of Nexus One and Android 2.1 (Flan). Want to see it more in action? Here is a video of the recently leaked Android 2.1 running on Motorola DROID. The creator of the video is able to show many things running smoothly on the DROID. The UI simply looks fantastic. And the creator keep mentioning how fast it is with this new ROM. And I think we can expect a pretty good user experience when the Android 2.1 is released.
Enjoy!
