A number of online forums have been abuzz this morning about an OTA update which is being pushed as I type for the Motorola Droid. Verizon even released a software update white paper outlining the changes that come with Android 2.01. Reports are the update is fairly small in size and just takes a few minutes to perform, so if you are a Droid user, keep checking your update status. Click for the changes
