Android 2.1 making its way toward the Motorola DROID?
Share:
This article contains unofficial information.
What is not coming over with the update? The animated wallpaper that has become a trademark of the N-One will not make the move to the DROID, leaving the latter with the static homepage it currently has along with the pop-up app shelf.. For some DROID owners, that might be a disappointment. On the other hand, there are many owners of the Time Magazine 2009 Gadget of the Year that are not as thrilled with the Nexus One's wallpaper and are just as happy to have the home pages as they currently are. It would seem that as long as the multi-touch crowd gets to flick on the browser, anything else is just gravy.

i've been using the Dolphin browser since day one, and i really don't see why people are so obsessed with the multi touch No word on the flash or memory card storage for apps, huh?

What do you like about dolphin, except its fast? From a complete shut down of the browser it takes to long to boot up for me. I havnt been able to figure out how to save images, maybe you can help on this issue?

I remember reading somewhere 2.1 was going to give us 5 screens (i think?).8153158&ref=mf

I used to be on board with you and want Flash, but I'm starting to think that Steve Jobs is right. Flash slows down your phone, makes for a lesser quality user experience, and it's not very stable yet. I'm kind of on-board with HTML 5.

Download Phonemypc you can use flash on your phone with that. The only downside is having to leave your computer on to use the app.

someday...just later. The Moto Droid is the higher model so it gets first dibs

I thought the droid would get updated first because it was easier. Eris has to go through HTC and get formatted to work for their UI. Or it could be a combination of the two.
