Android 2.1 Letdown

I'm still waiting for Motorola to release the latest upgrade to my Droid OS, Android verson 2.1. The main reason I have been craving this upgrade is it was expected to provide multi-touch into the OS in native form. Currently only the Google Maps 4.0 supports multi-touch pinch for zoom, a major improvement over trying to tap a tool button and only getting incremental zoom. As for the web browser, fortunately PC world pointed me to a free browser called Dolphin I need to try out to fix the lackluster zoom provided in the included web browser on my phone.

Don't get me wrong, my Droid kicks my blackberry to the curb in most every way, it is still just disappointing how it still needs to catch up to features my 1st generation iPod touch offered years ago.

For some great details on the Android 2.1 release read RJ Raphael's review on PC world here.
