Droid Eris update coming July 16
That’s right Droid Eris users, Verizon did not forget you — there’s a software update coming on July 16 that’s slated to fix a whole slew of audio and contacts issues. When the update to Android 2.1 rolled around, there was quite a bit of disappointment as things were, shall we say, broken, and with the Eris being discontinued everyone thought that was the end of bug-fixes and other software enhancements. Nice to see that wasn’t the case, and Verizon hasn’t forgotten it’s customers who prefer the smaller, but still sexy, Eris. Hit the break to see another leaked screen shot with some information about exactly what is getting fixed. [DroidLife]

Droid set for Android 2.2 in July, and Droid X to follow?
So the Droid X isn’t launching with Android 2.2. That’s a bummer. And and it’s not going to be available until "late summer." That’s what we were told at Verizon’s Droid X event, and it’s what Verizon’s saying in the internal document you see above. But the doc also says that the original Droid will get Android 2.2 (and Flash 10.1) sometime in July, which kind of goes against what we (are pretty sure we) heard today — that the Droid and Droid X would get their updates together. But let’s not look a gift horse in the mouth, m’kay? We’ll take some Froyo for the Droid just as soon as we can get it. Big props to you know who.

Froyo Feature: Adobe Flash 10.1 beta
Surely you didn’t think we would forget to show off some Flash did you? Phil and I have been hard at work finding out everything we can about what’s new in Android 2.2, and we just saved the big parts until the end.
Flash on a mobile device used to be an idea that I just never got on board with. That will teach me to open my mouth before trying something new. After playing with it for a few days to prepare for this write-up, my mind has changed and I’m now a believer. Everyone’s experience will differ, but I’m not seeing the battery decimation that we all expected, and even while playing games, the phone is still responsive and the Flash content itself — well, check out the video after the break and see for yourself.
