* Goggles Google is now pre-installed (no matter how useless it May BE).
* The browser is now turned multitouch, like Google Maps 3.4. Hooray! No flash, but again, we really did not expect.

* No wallpapers active. Deception!
* News and Weather widgets introduced the Nexus One are included. Maybe some capabilities of 2.1 will be limited to devices with minimum performance criteria?
There is no word on timing, and all our sources know, this accumulation could still be derailed testing – God knows that it happened with many pre-production over the Verizon firmware. We’ll keep our ear to the ground and you do the same.
