A lot of people who have Rooted their DROID can ignore this post. For everyone else, why haven’t you rooted your droid yet? Ok, now that is out the way i should let you know that it looks like the 2.1 DROID update is back on again. Originally it was going out March 17th but Verizon pulled the update. According to engadget.com 1000 people will see the update over the next few hours. After that, if all goes well, another batch of updates around midnight. Once that final batch is deemed ok then everyone else should see the update by Thursday. One thing I like about Apple and Google is that they control the update experience. I only hope that Microsoft follow this approach with Windows Phone 7 series.

Hopefully you are one of the 1000. Good luck.

        I got my 2.1 update last night. So far, the phone seems a lot faster. Live wallpapers are pretty cool. The Picture/video Gallery is pretty sweet. I have Open Home for my home page, and it seems to Force Close more often now though (I thought 2.1 was going to have 2 additional home screens on the main home screen, but if it available…so far I haven’t figured that one out yet). When I go to my task killer, it shows that there is a lot more available memory. There is a cool new weather/news widget. The multi-touch works very smooth. I’ve tried it on the browser and the gallery without a hiccup. The Maps had pinch zoom on the last maps update i got a few weeks back, and there was no change there. However the latitude widget now works. The voice to text works great. Now you can dictate to the phone instead of typing. Still no Flash Player though :( I’ll let you know what else I find as I play with it…probably not much work gettin done today :P
