Motorola Confirms Android 2.1 for DROID, Multitouch Support in Maps with Navigation

Motorola has confirmed that the current flagship DROID smart device will be updated to Android 2.1 in an over the air update beginning this week.

The 2.1 build for the DROID will not feature the 3D wallpaper functionality or revised user interface of the Nexus One homescreen, suggesting that those enhancements are exclusive to Google.

The update will also mark the debut of multitouch support for Google Maps with Navigation, Google Goggles and the rest of the upgrades found in last week’s Nexus One update.
