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

It’s back to the waiting game for Motorola DROID users…
