Those G1 owners who have been green with envy looking at the DROID may soon own a device sporting the same Android OS as Time Magazine's 2009 Gadget of the Year. According to AndroidSPIN, the G1 is about to receive an OTA firmware upgrade to Android 2.0 or perhaps 2.0.1. Both versions have been readied for the upgrade. An anonymous tipster tells the site that Non-disclosure reasons are currently holding up the distribution of the upgraded OS. Once the new OS is up and running, the G1 will have gone from being an antique piece to being a up to date, modern device. Another holiday miracle made possible by technology.
