Motorola has been a bit vocal lately, regarding their highly advertised mobile phone, Droid. At the start of this week, Motorola confirmed the arrival of Android 2.1 update during the current week. And now, they have accidentally listed out the features that 2.1 update for Motorola Droid will bring. I say accidentally since they published the essential details firsts and then took the page down. Details after the jump.

Android 2.1 for Droid features

Here is what you will be getting once you updated to Android 2.1:

  • Voice recognition for virtual keyboard. Anywhere you can type, you can dictate. Swipe your finger across the keyboard (or press the microphone button) to activate. Same as one found on the Nexus One.
  • Virtual (on-screen) keyboard enhancements.
  • 3D Gallery: Should be the same as the new gallery that’s on the Nexus One, and that’s been ported to the Droid.
  • Pinch to zoom: Already on board for the recently updated Google Maps, now you’ll have it in the browser and gallery.
  • News and weather widget/app. That’s the widget from the Nexus One that we get questions about in our videos.
  • Enhanced Music application. New tabs at the top for easier access an navigation to artists, songs, albums and playlists.
  • Google Goggles: Now built into Android 2.1. No separate downloads.
  • Fixes the the buggy screen lock mechanism.
  • Yahoo e-mail now has setup optimization.
  • Battery life improved.

This feature list says one thing pretty simple and plain – Android 2.1 is the update that your Droid owners simply must have.
