Verizon Begins Updating Droids With Android 2.1

After an initial delay, Android 2.1 — the same version of the Android OS running on the Nexus One — is finally available on the Motorola Droid.

After an initial delay, Android 2.1 — the same version of the Android OS running on the Nexus One — is finally available on the Motorola Droid. Though the Nexus One was released months ago, it's taken longer for Android 2.1 features like multi-touch navigation to make it onto the Droid.

Besides multi-touch, new features include live wallpaper and new standard applications like Google Goggles. Verizon began rolling out the update to Droid users at the end of last week, and so far, reviews are mixed. Some phones have seen an increase in operating speeds, while others (especially those running live wallpaper) are experiencing slight delays. Not all Droid users have received the update, which will arrive over the air. Once you're prompted to install the new version, the actual download only takes about a minute!

Has your Droid been updated? What do you think about Android 2.1?

Update! Geren Ford for Urban Outfitters

The entire first batch of Urban Outfitters' designer collaborations hasn't hit stores yet, but we have a glimpse of Geren Ford's affordable line, HAWKS.

The entire first batch of Urban Outfitters' designer collaborations hasn't hit stores yet, but we have a glimpse of Geren Ford's affordable line, HAWKS. Tops, dresses, and shorts are priced between $48 to $128; some resemble pieces from Ford's higher-priced line. I'm looking forward to snatching signature Geren Ford ruffles at Urban Outfitters prices. Two items, a sailor dress and sailor shorts are already available online, with more trickling in any day now.

Update! Nina Garcia's Departure from Elle

I told you I would keep you updated on the Nina Garcia/Elle drama so here it goes.

I told you I would keep you updated on the Nina Garcia/Elle drama so here it goes.

The latest word is that the magazine has offered Nina a temporary — around six months — contributing editor's role, long enough for her to appear on Season Five of Project Runway. She has yet to accept the offer or comment on the recent ongoings. The show's producer, The Weinstein Co., is currently in talks to bring Nina, Michael Kors, Elle, and other partners back for a sixth season. It remains to be seen if the show would rehire Nina if the magazine is still involved and she is no longer employed there. Interesting stuff, but what I really want to know is where Nina will be headed next?!
