So I'm guessing the MyTouch users will just be SOL for an OTA update? My phone actually said it had an update available this morning and I let it install, thinking it would be at least 2.0. However, when the installation finished, the firmware was still 1.6. Is this Goggle's way of trying to stem the flow of angry customers who feel like they are being left behind? Sending out a fake update?

Android seemed really promising and cool but now… I'm thinking I'll be choosing a device with a different operating system as soon as I find one that is appealing to me.

Besides, even if this release doesn't provide those feature there's nothing to say that those features won't eventually become available on the Droid in future revisions. Perhaps Google and Motorola will figure out how to get those features to run smoothly on the Droid. Live wallpapers sounds cool but I wonder what eye candy like that does to the battery life. The only reason I want 2.1 is so I can support flash 10 when it becomes available.

Seriously what are you guys whining about? You get everything except the two things that run janky on the Droid. How do I know this? Because I ran a rooted version of 2.1 on my Droid for a few weeks. Everything was faster and worked great except 2 things 1) Live Wallpapers 2) The App Drawer.

The App drawer animation is just flat out annoying and not worth the slowdown. Live Wallpapers look great, but they single handidly would cause lockups and force closes. Now that was before I overclocked my Droid to 800Mhz, 950Mhz and now 1Ghz. But still it's not worth it. And most people won't root and overclock, those that do can easily get both of these features via the Mod community.

Good job Motorola! Saving hundreds of thousands of people from unnecessary problems with their phones for nothing but visual flair.

Google just wants to keep it for themselves. Not getting the live wallpaper and the animated tray blows. This update is lame who the hell needs Google goggles update when you can just downloaded from market. I would switch out of android as soon as something better comes along.
