androidGet your salt shakers folks. You’ll need them yet again as this is for now a “what if” type of question. It’s highly suspected that the Android 2.0.1 update will drop on December 11th just a few days from now. Verizon themselves mentioned that the Droid would receive such an update “before the holidays”. Now, also put into your internal RAM that Verizon has stated that the HTC Droid Eris will receive an upgrade to at least Android 2.0 in Q1 of 2010. Finally, back on November 9th we had a story detailing some leaked internal documents highlighting current Android 2.0 problems and plans to issue two updates — one on December 11th and one on January 22nd.

So now that we’re a several weeks into the futureand have had some more information creep out since November 9th, do you feel that the impending Android 2.0.1 update does highlight some truth in a January 11th/22nd release date for Android 2.1 as indicated on those leaked internal documents? I mean, various official confirmations from Verizon, Motorola, and HTC have been made promising of updates around these dates. So now I guess the only two things to ask are do you think this dual update plan will play out and which date do you see being the birth date of Android 2.1 — the 11th or 22nd — if any? I’d be more willing to side with the document. Then again, that was a good month ago…

    I just received update from HTC on when they expect to release 2.1 – sometime within the first 6 months of 2010… read more here: http://eugeneorourke.com/blog/droid-eris-2-1-release-date/

    Still waiting for the update in Florida, although we did get a visit from the Pres and VP today.

      Ya, it’s not coming within the immediate future. March-ish? Oh well, hit up Alldroid.org for custom ROM’s that will make you question as to why you even cared about 2.1 in the first place.

    Well it’s the 22nd, and still no update here in California. So I’m still hoping that it goes live before the end of this month.
