Big props goes out to our friend Chas who sent us this video this morning of a Motorola Droid running on the “official” Android 2.1 update. Apparently, Pete over at Android Overdrive got a hold of what he is reporting to be the official 2.1 Droid update. Chas says:
Developer for the Droid, Pete, has managed to get a hold of the official 2.1 Droid update from Verizon. Still having trouble making a working ROM but it will be ready soon.
Pretty interesting stuff! Pete reports in the forum that he has had it running for 3 days now and has no bugs to report. There are also some discussions about this being an earlier build of the upcoming Official Verizon 2.1 Update. I suppose only time will tell if this is a leaked version of the official update or an earlier build. Either way, this is pretty cool and should quench your thirst for some Moto Droid 2.1 action, at least until the official update is pushed. Anyone gonna jump the gun and install this “official” update? Let us know how it works for you.
PS: There are a bunch of folks talking about this in the AF Droid Forum
