No, flash is Adobe's baby but from what I understand the 2.1 update is a "requirement" but I'm afraid we're at the mercy of Adobe for the FLASH player

Well I know that adobe is taking care of the flash player end of things, but I was wondering because on there site they had a message saying that 10.1was coming to the Druid in early 2010. Then they put out video of 10.1running on the Droid. About last week I heard that 2.1 would be released today and that we would be able to get 10.1, but now when you toto adobe they say they have nothing that works on the druids OS

I heard that 2.1 actually needs to find your brain radio frequency because it hooks directly to that and there is no need to dial or open it just appears. It's like a bluetooth connection to your brain.

Then again that is just what I heard. Cause I just said it out loud.

So that is what the voices in my head keep saying,,,,,

My BRAIN HURTS, does that mean I got the update???? :)
 
I'd like to remind everyone that Android is Open Source. That means that Google is required to publish the full source code to the OS. What this means is that Google isnt holding up the Droid from getting Android 2.1, all that is holding it up is Verizon and Motorola, probably due to a critical bug found.

This is correct BUT I'd like to add that Google is also involved.

They (Google) helped develop the Droid and VZW/Moto/VZW are not going to update it until they iron out these issues.

People have to realize they WILL NOT release 2.1 until it is stable. There are no conspiracies or jockeying for position taking place.

They haven't even patched the N1 yet. Do we really want our devices "broke" just so we can have a new gallery, launcher, and news widget?
 
what is wrong with 2.1? the nexus has a reception related issue that's more or less an issue with tmobile and gsm?

after reading through all of the comments in this thread, is there anyone who can actually explain to me (and many of us) what 2.1 has that is making everyone so anxious?

really... it'd be nice for a noob like me to have a clue. Does it activate a heat sensor on the screen so it can double as an iron? Will it produce water in the event I'm stranded in the Sahara and thirsty? What does 2.1 have that everyone is going bonkers over getting it?

A little faster, better on battery, fancy live wallpapers, cooler looking app launcher... the only reason its a big deal is because its the latest and greatest, not by much, but it is. I do have to say, I wasn't impressed by the live wallpaper at first, but after a while I find it to be pretty damn cool

This makes sense. What doesn't make sense to me is: why would Google go in with Motorola and Verizon, create a "Google Experience" device, advertize the crap out of it. . . and then compete with it? It's like the dog that chases it's own tail. There's definitely a conflict of interest here. If it comes down to it, and Google has to make a choice, us Droid users are gonna get the short end of the stick. I just don't see why they would put so much effort into this device only to compete with it. I bet the non-disclosure agreements between the three (Google, Verizon, Motorola) would give me a headache!

You're right it's convoluted...but, the developer of the OS has decided to become a player in the smart-phone market..... Somewhere, in some board room, some marketing/research/development types decided that there was money to be made by making a smart-phone to their specifications for their OS. The thing that makes it even more so, is that Motorola is licensed to put that OS on their devices that it was earmarked for, so, I would imagine that any agreement on the use of the OS probably include and agreement to receive all updates, and new versions of the OS, it's like I alluded to in my last post about Microsoft making their own PC's and how screwy that could get. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense on the surface, but, it makes sense by the standards of that business, to the people in that business...

I could only imagine what the non-disclosure agreements are like between the three of them, and then between each one (VZW-Motorola, Motorla-Google, VZW-Google)
