Motorola Droid Update Coming With Multitouch

According to report on Engadget this morning, the next Motorola Droid update is in testing at Verizon and it will go a long way toward sealing the gap between it and the Nexus One. The new update is identified as Android 2.1 version 1 and will offer enhanced features including a multitouch-enabled browser, Google Goggles, and news and weather widgets.

Google released an update for the Nexus One last week. While the Droid will enjoy some of the same upgraded features of the Nexus one, such as browser multitouch and Google Goggles, it won’t get the 3D home screen that Nexus One users enjoy.

Engadget’s source didn’t provide a possible release date and isn’t even sure if this particular version will make it out of testing unscathed. We’re sure to see more of this one as it progresses. [via Engadget]
