No remote deletion. This isn't the Kindle, after all. Yes, it's just to make sure you have it to reinstall should you have to reload your device.

Damn nice of him to say something, too.

Ummm... hate to tell you this, but Android DOES have a kill switch... not saying they are going to use it in this case... but it IS in fact there.

PC World - Why Android Kill Switch is a Good Thing

Use Astro

• Open Astro
• Press the menu button
• Select tools
• Select Application Manager/Backup
• Check mark next to BW.
• Press the "backup" button

thanks a lot!!

Thanks CK.

Sweeet thanks for the quick guide..

Maybe he should just let go "FREE" and then see how HTC reacts to that.

AFAIK it is just the look. Don't think it is code. I have no idea if the case is winnable, but HTC is probably betting the developer will not have the money to want to fight it in court.

This is why I am all for a law where if you do take someone to court and lose, you're responsible for legal fees AND subject to a fine. This would make companies think twice before taking action and inspire lawyers to take cases on contingency.

If it was free HTC may get even more annoyed at the fact even more people are going to get access to materials they says is theirs.

Absolutely! They'd more than likely go after him for damages (assuming they already aren't).

I think once we get 2.1 we'll soon forget about BW.

It's a great app but the new weather/news widget on 2.1 is pretty slick. It will look great on the Droid.

for reference

Android 2.1 Screenshots Available - The platform seems like a great update over Android 2.0 - Softpedia

are we certain that we will get 2.1 ? I'm coming from winmo i know some devices can't support the new updates etc

I get what you're trying to say but I don't know if I agree. One of the best features of the Droid over something like the iPhone is being able to totally customize it to your liking. I get bored with the same appearance and change it frequently.

yes ofcourse.

I'm not sure why people are wondering if we will get it or not. The Moto is Google branded not to mention VZW's flagship device.

Yes can't wait. Are they still planning to release the 2.1 update in January?

 

[LordKastle]

Yes the Droid will get 2.1.

Out of necessity it will..in order for the marketplace to grow and for developers to be happy, Google knows they cannot splice the potential market in to pieces. Besides "the" Droid has the highest volume of sales regarding the Android OS and is impossible to alienate.
