Verizon's take on Droid 2.1 update

It seems today, that the only way to be ensured that you'll get the latest and greatest OFFICIAL updates is to buy a phone FROM GOOGLE. What happened to freedom and open? Maybe it's impatience, but when Google says that MT/Pinch in native apps goes to N1 and can't for DROID because the "hardware can't handle it," I cry BS!

I'd like to suggest to you that updating your copy of Google Maps on your Droid would be a bit more productive than changing your search engine to Bing.

You may just find a little surprise...

Interesting - no "update available" icon on my notification bar, but when I went to the Market it showed version 3.4 as an available update (I had 3.3.1). :thinking:

I never get a notification unless I haven't checked for updates in a while. Usually I check for updated apps two to three times a day so I get them before I get notified of them.
