Members of the AllDroid forums have apparently successfully rooted the Motorola DROID.This will provide root level Linux access to the device, giving the user added abilities. I am very eager to see what comes from this, and what all we can do! There is also a manual upgrade to 2.0.1 included with these files.

| Root Your Droid |

All haild Android! Google's OS has become a hit as the Motorola DROID was ranked number 1 on the gadget list in Times' "Top Ten of Everything" list for 2009. Coming in at number 2 was Barnes and Nobles "Nook", which is an e-reader that runs the Android OS as well. All in all, a very good year for Google and Android.

Europeon company Good Technology has announced that is has extended its enterprise mobility suite to Android devices and the iPhone as well. Available directly from their site or the marketplace, it allows expanded client options for customers and the ability for IT departments to securely manage the devices. More and more employees are wanting to use their own devices, and this provides a solution.

Verizon announced today that its Droid HTC Eris will recieve an OS update early in 2010, bumping it up to 2.0 Eclair.This will bring Google Maps navigation to the Eris as well as other 2.0 features, adding to the HTC Sense UI and Flash support along with many other features already on the device. Kind of makes you wonder why the Eris did not ship with 2.0? Congratulations Eris owners!

So you want the droid badly? You envy those droid owners in the US? Those that can't pinch zoom? Now you can pre order yours! An unlocked version will set you back £439.99. PS, this version allows you to pinch zoom :)

Have you thought of what's inside your droid look like? Head over to Dr Wreck's site, and see, this is the end result. Don't do this at home!

Phandroid was recently tipped off that Verion had created a list of issues they wanted to be fixed with the Moto DROID and the tipster also informed them an OTA update would be pushed out on December 11th. Now for those of you with the device(like myself) you have noticed one or two flaw but nothing major, but its good to see Verizion standing behind a device for once! Below are the "confidential" document images, courtesy of Phandroid.

With the recent launch of Motorola's DROID, the market shows an increase of 94% within application development. Most of the focus seems to be on games, as developers become interested with the ability to write multiplayer games. These stats are according to Mobile Analytics company Flurry:

Thanks androinica for letting us know about these specials, the Eris and the Droid, at Wirefly. Only on new connection to VZW though.

As advised they passed FCC not long ago, and now it has appeared on Germany's O2 site. Thanks SlashGear for the reminder.
