2.1 coming in a couple of days!

[MrCapcom]

Yea we might not get it in a couple days but the open source is coming and then its just a matter of time between VZ and Moto to get it right and push.

Was there ever a 2.0.1 we gonna go to open source annoucement? Or did VZ/Moto just say oh yea 2.0.1 here

From the live feed, it looks like Moto's rep is shying away from future OS updates (aside from 2.1):

[MOTO]: We have the intention to upgrade every device to the best version of the software that that hardware can run. Android 2.1 has very 3D-intensive software, not every device can run that. To the extent that it can, we will support it. All the APIs are kept consistent so all Android Market apps will work. Being 100% backward compatible stifles and slows development.

yah the bottom line is WE WILL BE GETTTING IT, but there is no date on when that will be. Who knows though Jan 22 might still be valid.

eh, if the dream/g1 is supposedly gonna get the 2.1 update, i don't see what the issue is. i'm sure the cliq can handle it.

Aw well I was hoping for an early release, but the way your putting it makes it still seem like Jan 22nd is valid as you have said before. Oh well I'll still hope for an early release.

Maybe the Cliq will get 2.1 but with modifications such as no animated wallpapers or no fancy 3d app drawer or something.

As the OS's evolve so will the devices.

They are merely saying that down the line as things (OS's) evolve the current crop of devices may or may not be able to run it. You don't have to worry though by that time you will own a new Android device (if you decide to stay with the platform).

That's doubtful. To me, "early release" would mean Jan 22. Otherwise I wouldn't expect to see it until Feb sometime. Proper QA takes time.

well i guess i can go ahead and uninstall the launcher, and the gallery, lol
