The boys over at Engadget seem to have their eyes on target for the Droid’s Android 2.1 OTA update. If you are a Droid owner who is envious of Nexus One owners (and their multitouch), be angry no more. According to one of Engadget’s “connects” (I’m saying the word “connects” now?) the version of Android that the DROID will receive is Android 2.1, version 1. Details:

• Google Goggles will be pre-installed, no matter how much you love or hate it.
• The browser will be multitouch-enabled just like Google Maps 3.4 (Woot!)
• It will retain the same-old, same-old Android 2.0 homescreen; no live wallpapers (boo!), and no 3D apps menu.
• The news and weather widgets from the Nexus One are included. Hmph.

Of course all of this could change, and this post could become as irrelevant as Android 1.5, so I suggest you talk this with a bag, not grain, of salt.
