Motorola Droid's next update to be Android 2.1

Engadget has received intel that Verizon is working on an Android 2.1 update for the Motorola Droid. No info yet on when the update will be available. Here is what they have to say about the update:
It’s based on Android 2.1. The build currently being circulated is identified as 2.1 version 1, mirroring the update just pushed to the Nexus One last week. Google Goggles is now pre-installed (no matter how unhelpful it may be). The browser’s now multitouch enabled, just like Google Maps 3.4. Huzzah! No Flash, but then again, we weren’t really expecting that. Interestingly, the home screen’s still got the same look as 2.0.1, meaning it doesn’t adopt the Nexus One’s rotating 3D grid of app icons — it’s still got the pull-up drawer tab at the bottom. No active wallpapers. Bummer! The news and weather widgets introduced on the Nexus One are included. Maybe certain capabilities of 2.1 are going to be restricted to devices with minimum performance benchmarks?
