Droid 2.1 question?!

stefanl · 12-15-2009, 12:11 PM

Is Android 2.1 slated to be officially updated to the Droid at some point or will this always have to be a leak/port???

I would love to have the screen features of 2.1 be native to the Droid. (what looks like a easily accessed preview button for homescreens, more homescreens, slicker photo viewing...etc).

Pretty good stuff

It is suppose to be an official OTA update in January, but no, nothing official...

after reading the problems i will wait to see if it is released officially

I will be waiting until they have figured a workaround for the gremlins.. then i will gladly rock it!

yea, i want just a little more stability before i try my hand and putting it on the droid.

but man, 2.1 looks to address a lot of the "wow factor" issues people seem to have with android. that weather/news widget looks really handy. plus the gallery and 3d apps screen and expose/card screen viewer...

ugh! i want it now!

I'm pretty sure that eventually, every android phone will get 2.1, including the G1. However, since the droid is still pretty new, it's likely that we might get it before some other phones.
I'm willing to bet that as soon as a device with 2.0/2.0.1/2.1 happens, that the exclusivity that the droid enjoyed with 2.0 will come crashing down, and we'll see every google experience device get synced together again.
So in short, I'm sure that 2.1 will come to the droid soon enough.

if i don't have it now, it's not soon enough!

The Droid is reportedly getting another update in January. I ASSUME this will be Android 2.1. But we'll have to wait and see I guess. I'm excited
