http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/02/500x_500x_500x_droid-wifi_01.jpgAndroid 2.1 (http://gizmodo.com/tag/android21/) for the Droid is making its way through (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/motorola-droids-next-update-to-be-android-2-1-includes-multito/) the Verizon test gauntlet, and apparently inside is multitouch for the browser (like Maps 3.4), Google Goggles, and fancy news and weather widgets. Not coming over from the Nexus One (http://gizmodo.com/tag/nexusone/)?
Live backgrounds—those swishy animated wallpapers—and that new 3D grid of app icons aren't part of the package. Instead, the same static backgrounds and the classic Android pop-up app shelf stick around.
Hate to say it, but this feels like even more Android fragmentation. Is anything—even the damn OS—ever gonna be the same between two phones again? Jeez. [Engadget (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/motorola-droids-next-update-to-be-android-2-1-includes-multito/)]
