Alright, Droid owners, decent multitouch performance isn’t the only thing you’ve got to brag about. As you likely know by now, 2.1′s in the works for you — and from the latest video we’re seeing of an official test build running in the wild, we’re cautiously optimistic that it’s going to be a fantastic little update. As we’d reported some time back, the Nexus One’s revamped app launcher is missing, but multitouch appears to work like butter in both the browser and revamped Gallery app and the new news and weather widgets have made the cut as well. Most notable, though, might simply be the fact that everything flies — home screen switches, opening of the app drawer, zooming, it’s all mega-fast. Granted, anyone with an Android device knows that the speed of the device depends on the number of apps you’ve got running, the moon phase, and the direction of the wind, but it’s an encouraging sign nonetheless. Now if only Moto would stop fumbling the launch, we’d be good to go; in the meantime, though, check some video of the update after the break.

One Response to “Android 2.1 looking fast, furious on Motorola Droid”

  1. The Motorola DROID continues to present new possibilities every day. We have had it for about 10 months and We’ve had a Blackberry attached to my system considering that September 1998. Being connected can be a critical part of my lifestyle so I am usually reachable by family and co-workers. I’m a bit addicted on the Marketplace for DROID Applications. When the device had limitless memory I would test the capacity. I feel this OS is the way on the long term and intend to develop with all of you to learn it as a result of and by way of. Thanks for that content.
