The 2.0.1 update was back in December. The 2.1 update is rumored at mid february. There is nothing else?

I honestly just seen that post just now. Wow, that was waste of my time. I am seriously just tired of waiting for 2.1. I want it come already.

I'm not sure if you are joking or you are serious.
But if you are serious, you have been misinformed. There was never a release date for 2.1 on the Droid.

And Adobe is supposed to be releasing flash support as well (this isn't related to the 2.1 OS, but it is due out soon too).

I'm not expecting to see this flash player released. Ever.

Come one, folks, lets do the math:

1. Adobe download used to say it isn't available YET, and now it just says it's not available.
2. They had Flash Player running on the Eris like last summer.
3. Technical issues wouldn't cause this holdup (Adobe releases new flash player versions faster than a baby changes diapers).
4. It would be a huge bandwidth hog. HUGE.
5. AT&T has really been burned on the iPhone bandwidth issues, to the point of discouraging people from buying iPhones, and Verizon doesn't want to come off that way.

When you add all those up, IMHO, Verizon has privately killed Flash Player because of bandwidth concerns. But they're never going to announce it, just leave us all hanging and hoping indefinitely, so they don't come off as the bad guy.

Really now? I'm pretty sure that the guys over at adobe have said that flash will be coming to our phone in the near future and that there has been an actual demo on an android phone. Check another thread. I don't know where your philosophy is coming from.

Crusher.....
The iPhone doesn't have Flash because Apple doesn't want it to. We will have flash, but it is my understanding that it may only be available for 2.1 and above. The original message on Adobe's site stated 2.0 and above, but I think that was not what they intended (therefore the change in the message).

What I'm trying to say is why aren't they giving us a release date.that'd the least they can do

Yes, the facts you just pointed out were in fact two of the reasons I listed (and which you obviously didn't read) about why I believe the project has been dropped. To put it all differently, Adobe wouldn't take this long to release something that looked pretty good seven months ago.

Why would adobe drop the only real chance they have to push flash to a mobile platform? Especially since it seems that apple may not cooperate. Yes it might be on verizons' end but still that is quite a dumb move for them to make considering the step it would be over at&t and the Iphone. Dont you think?

About time! I have been waiting for the 2.1 release for the longest time.
