I was so hopeful that a guy that would take the time to upload a screenshot (with the file size/day carefully cropped out) while at "work" but couldn't upload the file because he was at "work" would come through for us. Damn

Dude... I can call a file "update.zip" and take a screenshot also. To me, that means absolutely nothing. That is a major red flag.
 
Wow. I was mere seconds too slow!

Yes, thank you. Rethinking this over a bit... my findings will be posted tomorrow morning around 9AM EST. This should give me an ample amount of time to converse with him. Noting will be posted before then. Thanks for your understanding.

there is no delay, it has been released as promised only to a select few. I have spoken with 3 people who confirmed it but would not give me the update themselves, if you look on Motorolas Facebook page there these people have said they have it and is working completly but without Flash functionality.

Flash was NEVER said to come with the OTA anyway. I don't know why everyone thinks it will.

Yes, the 2.1 update is coming from Google and Motorola. Flash is coming from Adobe. No relation what so ever!

From what I've been able to glean, they did put the first thousand out; and then put an indeterminate hold for an as yet undisclosed reason on the full rollout. Although nothing is confirmed, it appears that the current problem is as much a deployment issue as anything.

This is exactly what happened. Verizon spokesperson Thomas Pica said in an email to popular phone site phonescoop.com, "The Android 2.1 upgrade for the Droid by Motorola was deployed to a small number of Verizon Wireless test users as scheduled. It is expected the broader phased rollout to all Droid by Motorola users will take place, but not just yet. No date scheduled yet."

I wouldnt really call Phone Scoop a popular phone site.... I never heard of it till yesterday...

It's fairly well known and well-respected in the industry. I did Tier 2 phone support for AT&T for a few years (Res Desk and IWC) and we used and recommended Phone Scoop extensively.

Yeah, every time I asked my verizon rep a question, they referred me to phonescoop. Was kind of annoying. Wondered what they were getting paid for if a free site could provide more info than them. Imagine that :-)

The way it worked for us was that we only had so much information that was available in customer-facing documents. We often had more information but we weren't allowed to directly provide that information or those sources to the customer.

However, a lot of it was available on Phonescoop, so we could direct customers there to get information we knew they needed to know but were not able to provide.

You and me both. I have been coding a side-scroller game in Flash for Droid. Once 10.1 Flash hits Droid, I will be coding more and more games in Flash for Droid.

Flash is not "dead" according to Steve Jobs, it's crouched down in the brush awaiting the precise time to POUNCE!
 
Whats the big deal about Flash? I mean, most websites have little vids and advertising blocks on webpages that run off of flash.. but what more is there to haveing flash available?

I don't want or care about Flash on my phone. I keep it blocked until needed on my desktop machine with the Flashblock extension for Firefox.

I don't want to see Flash banner ads, stupid Flash website intros made by crappy web designers or visit websites that use Flash for navigation (again made by crappy web designers). Websites with extensive use of Flash are generally lacking in content anyway and not worth bothering with.

The only possible reason I would want Flash on my Droid is to see Flash videos on websites that host the videos themselves and not on Youtube.
