“Everybody will get 2.1 when it’s open source, within a couple of days”
Google’s Andy Rubin caused a bit of a stir at last night’s Nexus One conference when he said that everyone will be getting Android 2.1 when it’s open source, i.e. in the next couple of days. This will be music to the ears of Android early adopters everywhere but, according to other sources, not all of the previous handsets will be reaping the benefits.
What’s clear so far is that both the HTC Magic and HTC Hero will be going straight 2.1 without bothing with any version in between at all. The Magic will also get the benefit of the HTC Sense custom UI according to some. The HTC Dream or G1, however, will not be able to cope with the 3D graphics and will stay put at Cupcake (version 1.5).
We also know that the Motorola Milestone (Droid) will be the next to get Android 2.1 but there’s no confirmation as yet as to whether the DEXT will benefit too. Again, there’s no reason why the Samsung Galaxy shouldn’t received the update but in the mean time we’ve contacted HTC, Motorola and Samsung for confirmation. We’ll update you when we know for sure.
