The Motorola Droid Update On Thursday Was For Testers Only
March 19, 2010
If you’re wondering how Thursday came and went without you getting the highly anticipated Motorola Droid Android 2.1 update, we’ve got a tidbit of news for you. According to Tom Pica, a Verizon spokesperson, the update wasn’t delayed, as was previously reported, but the Android 2.1 update was deployed to a small number of Verizon analysis users (as scheduled). It’s good to know that Verizon apparently sent out the Android 2.1 updates, since that means it’s (almost) ready, though the downer is that most users out there probably didn’t get any update whether they weren’t part of the tryout users. Hopefully Verizon will be able to get that sorted out soon, and serve the Android 2.1 update to Motorola Droid users already.

Motorola Milestone hitting India that month
March 19, 2010
If you happen to live in India, here's an interesting bit of news - the Motorola Milestone will be arriving there that coming March 22nd, where it will most probably be pre-loaded with Android 2.1 already, just like how its US counterpart, known as the Verizon Droid, has already started to receive the Android 2.1 update. Just to refresh your memory, the Milestone sports a 3.7" capacitive touchscreen display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash and a gamut of wireless options such as HSDPA/HSUPA, Wi-Fi b/g and Bluetooth 2.0. Read about our Droid review here.

Android 2.1 Update For Motorola Droid Delayed
March 18, 2010
If you were excited by the announcement of the Android 2.1 update for the Motorola Droid, you’ll probably want to hold on to that feeling, as there is a spot of poor news. Word is out that the update has been delayed, and to construct things worse, there isn’t any release moment mentioned in the leaked internal company documentation. whether you were periodically checking Verizon’s website to see whether the update was released on instance, you’ll now know why the update isn’t on Verizon’s site yet. Hopefully Verizon won’t sit on that issue for too faraway. After all, we all want a bit more of that Android 2.1 goodness, right?

Bing market share increases
March 17, 2010
Interesting - US search market figures for last month by Nielsen points towards the ascension of Microsoft's Bing with Google's market share figures dropping. With Bing being the default search engine for Net Explorer and Motorola's range of Android-powered handsets, Microsoft must be doing something right to keep 'em coming back for more. Proportionately speaking, Bing experienced a 14.7% increase compared to Google - which is a totally different story from its traditional path which came at the expense of Yahoo instead. Where do you think will be Bing's saturation point?

Google Nexus One sales figures are sub-par
March 16, 2010
Statistics, and damned statistics! Well, these figures don't lie when it comes to the number of Google Nexus One handsets being sold all through the first 74 days of its life in the market. After all, when you compared the Motorola DROID and iPhone, their respective first 74 days resulted in 1.05 million units as well as around 1 million units, while the Nexus one touched slightly more than 10% of those figures at a mere 135,000 Nexus Ones moving into the pockets of consumers. Hopefully with the impending roll out on Verizon Wireless and Vodafone in the coming months, the figures might just bump up.
