It’s a software update for a new Android phone! Yay! The current over-the-air update for the Samsung Droid Charge fuxes the awful mobile hotspot bug which required you to set the handset’s time back to May in order for it to work, as well as GPS improvments and battery life fixing when making phone calls and such. As I also noticed, after updating a Droid Charge for myself to see the changes, you can also tell there’s a new signal indicator next to the 4G LTE icon. The update rolls out gradually, so don’t fret if you don’t have your update just yet. Via: Verizon
About time. The all too hard-to-find ASUS Eee Pad Transformer is getting the much-needed Android Honeycomb update to make one of the best tablets out there even better. Keep in mind Android 3.1 will add resizeable widgets, better multitasking, UI improvements, bug fixes, more speed, and Movies (with rental options) via the Android Market, all rolling out to Eee Pad Transformer users starting tomorrow.
From Google’s I/O came some uncertainty: When will WiFi Motorola Xooms get the Android 3.1 Honeycomb update? Well, Motorola answered that question this very morning: “Within the next several weeks”.
More waiting, more speculating, more possibly accurate/inaccurate leaks going around. Windows Phone 7 has a copy-and-paste update due for quite a bit now, and rumor has it that Microsoft has been heavily controlling the updates for Windows Phone 7 as they promised. Meaning that in this case, all updates should come out at the same time, and carriers have much, much less control over OTAs as they usually do (see the Android update sagas). So, with that, let’s wait for the 8th of March!? Via: 
Not much news over here. The Motorola Droid — grandfather Droid/old Droid/Droid 1/Whatever — has a new update inbound for Android 2.2. New features include the new Gmail app, updated Twitter app, Microsoft Exchange improvements, updated News & Weather widget from stock Android, and a few other things of that sort. Expect the OTA to be floating to your handset any moment now. Via: 
According to what seems like insider knowledge from Microsoft WP7 dev Chris Walsh, the first ever update for Windows Phone 7 will be “massive” and could be considered Windows Phone 8. Keep in mind Microsoft learned from Google and Android, and that every once in a while when a software update is needed on the platform, Microsoft will independently send you the update without much carrier oversight, like an Windows 7 software update. And purportedly what will be in the new update would be some heavily requested user features like Bing turn-by-turn voice directions, custom ringtone support (yeah, Microsoft forgot), copy/paste (they “forgot”that too), and multi-tasking (of some form, maybe 3rd party access). So, now we wait for the things that Microsoft’s new platform should have had from the beginning. Via:
