Looks like they focused a lot on the voice input applications. That in tandem with Google Navigation is where Android excels IMO

I am giving it 48 hours before the droid 1 has a working 2.3 ROM.

I'd give it a lot longer than that.

They have only released the SDK so far, not the source code.

You can build your apps to work with Gingerbread with the SDK....but we still need source to build the ROMs.

Yeah once the source is released no doubt in my mind that gingerbread will be on the droid one in a day... The source is usually released close to the SDK though

All I care about in Gingerbread is whether it's finally possible to have gapless playback. :unsure:

From Android Police:
Google’s own Reto Meier just sent out a tweet refuting any OTA rumors and putting the Gingerbread update timeline as "in a few weeks":

I hope the OTA comes for the Droids in a few weeks as well.
It's kinda funny how a "new" Samsung is getting 2.3 but the current flagship (fascinate) is still sitting on 2.1.
I just hope VZW doesn't sit on this for 6 months and is able to push it out to the non root people.

Well the AOSP usually gets updated about a week or so after the SDK drops. So the Droid as well as other rooted devices should see an AOSP ROM before the month is out. For those not rooted/unwilling to root and awaiting an OTA you probably won't see anything until the end of Q1/2011 the earliest.
