After hopes were dashed back in February, Verizon had been expected to begin pushing out the much anticipated Android 2.1 update for the Motorola DROID today. It appears that a bug was found at the last minute, thereby delaying the update again.
Software Schedule:
The 3/18 OTA software update will not happen as planned. A new date will be communicated as soon as possible.
Among the enhancements and improvements included in the update are:
- Voice recognition for Virtual Keyboard: Text box entry will now support dictation
- Virtual Keyboard enhancements
- 3D Gallery: Three dimensional stack view of album art and Picasa Web albums
- Pinch-to-zoom functionality for web browsing, and Gallery and Google Maps applications
- News and Weather widgets and applications
- Google Maps updates (Starred item sync, personalized suggestions, night mode)
- Improved pattern-lock functionality
- Improved handset audio when disconnecting a wired headset
It’s back to the waiting game for Motorola DROID users…
