By now I’m sure you’ve seen at least half a billion blog posts about the Motorola DROID getting the Android 2.1 OTA update starting sometime this week. I myself even touched on it earlier. At first, cries of joy, dancing in the streets half naked, and heavy drinking should follow, shouldn’t it? But the cooler head in me steps back for a second.
