Droid users would have been feeling a bit left behind ever since Nexus One was announced since it was the first Google Phone to be powered by Android 2.1 which brought with it interesting features such as live wallpapers,  speech to text feature  and more. But all this is going to change now. Reports are in which suggest that the next update will bring Android 2.1 for Motorola’s highly advertised phone. Motorola Droid will also be getting multi-touch browser via this update. More on the update after the jump.

The update which is currently going through testing has the following highlights:

  • It’s based on Android 2.1. The build currently being circulated is identified as 2.1 version 1, mirroring the update just pushed to the Nexus One last week.
  • Google Goggles is now pre-installed (no matter how unhelpful it may be).
  • The browser’s now multitouch enabled, just like Google Maps 3.4. Huzzah!
  • Still no Flash even though there was speculation that Flash will be making its way to Droid.
  • Interestingly, the home screen’s still got the same look as 2.0.1, meaning it doesn’t adopt the Nexus One’s rotating 3D grid of app icons — it’s still got the pull-up drawer tab at the bottom.
  • No active wallpapers. Bummer!
  • The news and weather widgets introduced on the Nexus One are included. Maybe certain capabilities of 2.1 are going to be restricted to devices with minimum performance benchmarks?
