One of the biggest factors that comes into play when it comes to the purchase of an Android handset is which one is running the latest version of the platform. Some are torn by the fact that there are a limited few that run the latest version while other handsets entice people with their customized experience that may play to needs of potential buyers. Now that the Motorola DROID has finally received the Android 2.1 update, the fragmentation that seemingly continued to plague Android is slowly diminishing. Recently the device dashboard over at the official Android Developers site got updated with now 3 major builds in play – Android 1.5, 1.6, and 2.1. Offering some kind of solace now, we were recently treated to news about Motorola's intentions to get all of their existing line of Android handsets up to par with Android 2.1 before the end of the year – which will alleviate the worry of buyers who are interested in MOTOBLUR but want to be graced with Android 2.1. In addition, Sprint is also ramping up in getting both the HTC Hero and Samsung Moment into the mix of things by Q3 – overall, things are looking a bit more prosperous for Android.
