I guess we will still be one release behind the Nexus One users but I will take 2.1.  Sometimes I get information overload but I am happy to see the update for the Droid is coming this week.  Makes me wonder when HTC will get off their backsides and update the Droid Eris.

  • Speech to Text
  • Nightmode Navigation
  • Multi Touch
  • BUG FIXES
