Just one month after the release of the Motorola Droid, the first software patch has arrived. Verizon has just begun distributing the OTA update – so if you aren’t seeing the update alert already, you should be seeing it before too long.
First things first, make sure your device is up to at least a 40% charge (or 20%, if it’s currently plugged into a power source), as you won’t be able to upgrade otherwise. After that, it’s just a matter of waiting around for the update to land on your device – or if you’re feelin’ antsy, try manually updating (”Home” > “Menu” > “Settings” > “About phone” > “System updates”).
Check after the jump for the change log.

Author: admin10 Nov 2009

That you have a few short days after a launch is a litany of problems plaguing devices in the field, but it is not entirely what yesterday – listen instead of this, which is an extension of Verizon are known political shit since devices testing are practically Uncle wines to the manufacturer. The carrier has already generated internal questions about the DROIDEN long lists and DROIDEN Eris, it seems documents removed revealing for the HTC one of the five pages for Motorola product and seven – Yes, be-; the good news is that you all are provided in one of two updates firmware, which provided to resolve Windows for December and January. Remained again know Verizon this firmware updated could obtain very well in the laboratory test for six years, but we will keep skyward our hopes.
New DROID ads show off Android, will make a man out of you
Author: admin10 Nov 2009

"A robot is a thing that does…" Verizon / Google / Motorola are taking their ad onslaught to new heights and in a new direction, with three new ads (which will hit "soon," according to our tipster), two of which actually show off Android functionality. It’s a bold new vision for a hyperbole-filled, guytastic campaign which shows no sign of letting up, and seems more than anything to be the complete antithesis to Palm’s coma-inducing spots instead of an antidote for Apple’s everyhipster sensibilities.
