Motorola announced via its Facebook page yesterday that the Droid will be getting an over-the-air (OTA) update to Android 2.1. The new version of the Android OS (a.k.a. Eclaire), is currently running only on Google's Nexus One.
Motorola announced the forthcoming update for later this week and apologized to Droid users for a lack of details on which functions will be included.
"Motorola Hi all – we know you are frustrated with the lack of details regarding Android software upgrades and we sincerely apologize for not being able to share info sooner. We're happy to relay the 2.1 upgrade to DROID will start to roll out this week, and we will have more information to share on other device upgrades later this week as well," Motorola posted on its Facebook page.
The Droid was released running Android 2.0 and has since received one OTA to version 2.0.1.
