The Droid Update You’re Looking For
Supposedly, Android 2.1 (i.e., the OS on the Nexus One) is set to update Droid phones on January 22. There’s a cracked version out there but rumors are that it’s quite flaky. I wonder what 2.1 has in store? From screen shots, it looks pretty snazzy.

I’m getting boned w/the G1. No update past 1.5. Still love it, however. You’ll have Flash this year, too–

i already have flash.
January 12th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
when did you get flash?
January 12th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
Back in April. Kidding aside, droid supports flash.

Whenever I go to adobe’s website it says that it’s not available yet. I’m jealous!

you can’t see flash content in your browser?
January 12th, 2010 at 12:43 pm
Whaaaa?
I can’t see Flash video or Flash based sites–only the YouTube content. I’m not sure what is used on some drop down menus, every now and again I’ll get a fly-by ad. Flash?
Flash 10 (10.1?) is what you have?

i dunno what it is but i can see flash content just fine.

Still waiting on 2.0 for the Eris(sigh). Promises, promises…

No flash content. I get the little “go to adobe and get it” message.

My droid has not flash and I tried to update and got the message flash will be available some time this year.
I was in Toronto for work and the turn by turn navigation didn’t work, only google maps. I spent 4 days being completely lost. Not fun and not sure why it didn’t work in Canada.
I am looking forward to Android 2.1

I may have to send this phone downrange now.

or you could just do a reset (link). But save your data first.

Thanks Unc–

i had to do it once when my wifi settings were messing with the 3g. as i said, back up data first. there’s even an app that will back up your apps.

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that there was no such thing as Cracked GNU programs. Just code that was released before completion …

I heard a rumor that the new OS will allow the Droid to double up as an air card, as Blackberrys already do. We’ll see.

you can do that now several different ways. Two of which are free.
