Google "News and Weather" Widget Exclusive to 2.1?

Supposedly it is activated by the grid icon at the bottom. Press the gird icon, a mini-preview of the 5 home pages popup (as shown in that pic) and you can tap which one you want to go to.
I worry about the Droid getting future updates because ALL of the current Android phones (other than the Droid) do not yet have the 2.0 or 2.0.1 updates. I don't want the next big Android phone to come out and the Droid be forgotten. I'm not saying this is going to happen, I'm just saying I don't want it to.
Very BadAzz.....Future is looking brighter....
the cube apears to be the new application listing. so instead of paging through pages of icons, you flip the cube.
i'm not a fan. I dealt with that cube BS with HTC and WinMo. I hate it. Nothing beats scrolling.
well that's crap. i want the grid icon to be the phone dialer..........

anyone else see this?
looks like a desktop switcher? its obviously on top of something, so maybe it's a new task switcher?
i also like the soft key / dialpad / soft key there. no more "phone" icon on the desktop ftw!!!!!
Look more closely. You can easily see in the midle page a phone icon. The dialpad isn't to bring up a phone, it's to bring up the applications menu and the two dots on either side indicate that there are two more home pages on either side of the one you're currently on.
crap. i thumbed through the other images and there's still a phone icon. i thought i saw that it wasn't there.
do we really need more buttons to do what a swipe can do? that's lame. lol.

OK, I see what you mean now, although it could "waterfall" the apps towards you one row at a time (that would be cool) as you scroll through them, instead of "cubing"???
I hope we also get the "animated wallpaper" as seen on the Nexus pics from the thread I posted yesterday..note the colored "beams" moving across the wallpaper

At one point there was discussion regarding a late January 2010 upgrade for our Droid? Is that still on? Could that be 2.1?
The more I think about the "Grid" icon I think it is still the "Apps" icon, partly because it is in the normal apps button location an becuase it is shaped liek a grid of apps.
After looking again at the Nexus pics, I beleive the "mini-preview" of the 5 home pages is brought up by the trackball on the Nexus (note pic above). and/or hopefully a press (or long press) of the Home button since the Droid doesn't have a trackball. This could also be HTC "sense" on top of 2.1 and not a part of 2.1.
Sure is fun trying to guess how it will work once (or if )we get it!!
