A Verizon Tech Support employee, responding to a question about when owners of the Motorola DROID could expect to receive their Android 2.2 upgrade, tweeted back that it, "Should be around same time as Incredible, but I’m aiming for early August." While the response did come from a Verizon employee, it did not come from an official Big Red Twitter account. So, we have to file away this response as being speculative at best. Earlier reports had the DROID receiving the update in the middle to end of July. Android 2.2 will enable the handset to support Flash 10.1 and will give a bump up in speed to the handsets receiving their upgrade. Currently, the Nexus One is the only handset running the Froyo software.
