The February 18th release date for the Motorola Milestone on Telus appears to have been removed from Best Buy’s mobile page. Could this mean a longer wait?

Customers who planned to preorder from Best Buy can still do so, however, although we no longer have confirmation of the release date from anyone…

The rumored update to the Morotola Droid has been confirmed on Morotola’s facebook page today, where they stated that they are “happy to relay the 2.1 upgrade to Droid will start to roll out this week”. There is no current info about what that update will contain, but they assured us that they “will have more information to share on other device upgrades later.“

Its great to see Morotola staying current with their Android versions for their customers.

Motorola Droid gets Multitouch Maps

Canadian Android — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:39:23 +0000

When it rains, it pours, huh, Google? Not even a week after announcing the big multitouch update for its own Nexus One, Google has turned loose a new version of Google Maps that enables pinch-to-zoom support on the Droid.

Of course, it was no secret that Android 2.0 had the framework in place to support this kind of stuff — Moto enabled it all by its lonesome on the Euro-spec Milestone — but it looks like this could be the watershed moment where multitouch finally becomes a must-have feature on Android devices across the board, as Moto CEO Sanjay Jha recently suggested would happen. The new version 3.4′s available as a software update in the Market right now, so grab it if you’ve got your Droid handy.
