• Voice recognition for virtual keyboard. Anywhere you can type, you can dictate. Swipe your finger across the keyboard (or press the microphone button) to activate. Same as on the Nexus One.
• Virtual (on-screen) keyboard enhancements.
• 3D Gallery: Should be the same as the new gallery that’s on the Nexus One, and that’s been ported to the Droid.
• Pinch to zoom: Already on board for Google Maps, now you’ll have it in the browser and gallery.
• News and weather widget/app. That’s the widget from the Nexus One that we get questions about in our videos.
• Previously published Google Maps 4.0 improvements.
• Enhanced Music application. New tabs at the top for easier access an navigation to artists, songs, albums and playlists.
• Google Goggles: Now built into Android 2.1. No separate downloads.
• Fixes the security lock bypass.
• Yahoo e-mail now has setup optimization.
• Battery life improved.
I might have to correct my previous statement. In this case, Google actually published their OTA update for Verizon Droid. Therefore, bypassing Verizon??
I hope similar Eclair update (with pinch-to-zoom) will be available for T-mobile MyTouch 3G.
Motorola is the one that is coding/releasing the update. It must pass verizon’s testing though. I do not know how they deploy it, but I would assume that Verizon servers deply the software.
so me and my gf have been having some issues my phone the past couple days my phone has been freezing with the screen locked so i have to take the battery out and turn it back on, and on my gfs eris her message box keeps saying that its not responding. what gives any ideas?
