Gingerbread update for the Motorola DROID 2 is being pushed out pronto to handsets
Share:
Today, the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update is being sent out and brings the Motorola DROID 2 up to spec with some of its siblings. However, it’s only packing Android 2.3.3 as opposed to the more recent version of 2.3.4 – still, we’re sure handset owners are going to be appreciative. Obviously, one of the more prominent visual changes with it is the fact that it sports a new user interface and color scheme. Meanwhile, some of the other listed new goodies include the following:
- New Download Manager App
- Under Manage Applications, a new “Running” tab displays a list of active applications, as well as the storage and memory being used by each
- Multi-Touch Key-Chording
- Improved Word Selection and Copy Functionality
- New widgets, icons and screens with refreshed colors
- Three swappable icons and the App Launcher icon are fixed to the dock at the bottom of all home screen panels for easy and instant access
- New App Menu allows creation of custom app groups
- Added Device and SD Card encryption
- VPN enhancements integrate IPSec VPN clients into device security settings

Awesome. I have a Droid 2 currently and this update will just provide me some entertainment until iphone 5, nexus prime comes out and at that point I can proceed with choosing between iphone 5, nexus prime and sg2. Still though this update should have came a lot earlier.
