I saw adobe come up with some magical bean that sprouted shock player. you got no bean. I got a lot of statements from a company that sold us out, anyone that bought a droid when the android was being developed got ripped off by motorola, like it or not. verizon sold us second rate units and gave away the gems (android.) There probably isn't a 2.1 and if there is dont ever expect anything else. i am sure it stops there because verizon is moving up the communication line beyond 5g. in 2 years you will have remembered all these empty statements with no product and remembered what the brass ring was. i should have known better. i look in the mirror and think, "SUCKER". to hell with motorola. yeah, i saw all the pretty beels and whistles and guess what, you dont have them.

I wasn't bitching and whining. My point was simply that these forums are chock-full of people who complain about pinch-zoom, and three homescreens,etc. Personally, I have no problems with my droid at all and looking at the release notes, there really isn't anything on 2.1 that I found that I either didn't already have or want(thanks guys, we can get goggles whenever we want for free). Flash support is really the only worthwhile feature I noticed. Live wallpapers, while certainly not a deal-breaker, would have been interesting, if superfluous. No, I don't stare at my screens and yes I am aware of battery usage. I am speaking for ME, NOT the android community at large. I am sure this post will be taken out of context (again). I've explained myself as adequately as possible. Let's hope motorola manages to get 2.1 out before Adobe get flash player ready, which I personally would be shocked if Adobe pushes it out in Q1. I'll remain hopeful, but not holding my breath. Apex, my post was cut off. I wasn’t bitching and whining.

You don't have anything positive to add to the post nor do you cite anything specific that you want out of the next build. The reason most of us are so patiently waiting for this update is that developers will have a solid (as solid as it can be) build on which to create. Granted 5+ screens is not, should not, be a deal breaker on a great phone but if want it, then having it as a part of a feature rich OS, not another resource heavy program/app that will cost us extra, is a good thing. As for pinch/zoom... we don't think we are so juvenile to want what the iPhone has, no, I believe, like many others, that gesture support like pinch/zoom is a more accurate way of zooming in and out on a touch screen. If my Droid is already better than the iPhone then getting pinch/zoom will only make it better. I'm sorry someone called you simple, I can tell by your writing style that you are not that.

Mostly, what I've read were a lot of people bitching about only having 3 home screens. I run android 2.0.1 and I have seven. Its called gde. Shell out three bucks or get home++. Home++ is free and will give you more than the stock three home screens. What I laugh most about, however, is people sniveling, bitching, and whining about that fucking pinch-zoom feature. So what? YOU BOUGHT A DROID, NOT A GODDAMNED iPHONE! If pinch-zoom was that all-important, why did you buy a Droid? I mentioned dolphin browser to someone before, and I was informed that I was an 'idiot' because 2.1 would allow pinch-zoom outside of the browser. I couldn't help but laugh, here is some mental midget calling ME an idiot because I didn't care about system-wide pinch-zoom and owned a droid. Why, WHY, I ask would you buy a droid knowing it doesn't have pinch-zoom, then run home and complain about it in every forum you can find? If pinch zoom is seriously that important.

I'm guessing these are all 1 app anyways, you get all of it or none. And if this guy received the official update, could't he have just snatched the update file before it executed and distributed that? Then no custom ROM needed?

He did say that it was supposed to be released "last month". I just can't figure out why it is taking so long. I am probably going to eventually root...time will tell.

He takes other peoples work and returns no credit. Then he asks for people to donate when he has had no innovation. Leaking something doesnt make him a dev either... creating something new and good does. If you want to find a good rom from a bunch of REAL devs go to the sholesmod. Its the best rom you will find. Not Petes copy and paste shit roms that suck my cock. Bugless Beast is not bugless at all and all hes contributed is notifications and wallpapers! And you people think HE deserves your money not the people whos work hes used. I respect him because i couldve done the same thing, just take out experimental things and include the work of other people then take credit and all the money with the praise of the people. The thing is since he has no real dev abilities if other people dont release their stuff then his rom will be left in the dust. So suck my dick Pete. I hate pete so much!
