Well I found some actual information about 2.1 in general, not about it being released on the Droid though. It looks as if the full 2.1 Source Code is now available. This is for the apps, core OS, etc.
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platfo ... 8659de76fe
There is an example of one of the 2.1 apps source. What this means is if someone really wants to, they could do a full compile of the 2.1 source and port it to the Droid with their own custom firmware.
Here is the link which I read that contained the info.

? i gotta say hacku im confused as to why you posted a facepalm. Previously the source wasnt available, only the SDK. Then only part of the source was available so the fact that all of the 2.1 source is available should be a good sign that we "should" see 2.1 on the droid "soon".

Do you think if we go to VZW corporate stores and lay on the floor kicking and screaming like small children we can get this update sooner? LOL I can wait my phone functions just fine without 2.1. But when it does come it will be like a new phone all over again.

I know I can't wait for all the new stuff
i've decided not to root for you either.
I don't know about you guys, but I like the drawer that pulls up better than the way the 2.1 launcher works. I like how it opens up, but I don't like how it performs. The original one drawer scrolls up and down much smoother. The new one would be cool if it scolled smoothly.
I do like the weather and news widget along with the improved gallery however.

Question for the developers: Is this information and code posted above useful? Are you able to take this and do anything with it?
Lawsuits? Someone needs to smack you.
hahahaha seriously.... not only was the update at the end of the month a rumor... but they arnt even obligated to give us an update, they sold us the phone at 2.0 or 2.01 and they dont HAVE to do **** to give you the next cool thing, the choose to because of market forces. If anyone actually thinks about suing they are morons.
Count me in the half who did not purchase the Droid based on what it was going to be eventually. I also married my wife not expecting her to be something better later.

Not sure where droidweasel is getting his HALF that bought the phone with the expectation that 2.1 was going to be released. I had no idea or thought of the December 2.0.1 update let alone the burgeoning 2.1 release.
Maybe he considers himself 50% of the total that purchased the Moto Droid, but I think he needs to take a new count.
