Motorola Droid ‘Shadow’ Coming To Verizon In July?!
A snapshot of a mysterious Motorola handset has been spotted in the wild with the Verizon logo on it. It is most probably Motorola Droid 2 a.k.a ‘Shadow’ Android phone supposed to launch on Verizon in July with Froyo.
It is supposed to rock with an 8MP camera capable of capturing 720p HD video. Motorola Shadow – as far as we know- will be launched with Android Froyo on it. On Hardware front, a 512MB RAM, a 4.3inch 800×484 capacitive multitouch screen, and an HDMI port are most likely to appear. If Shadow is really droid’s successor then I would predict a slide-out QWERTY keyboard as well.
Motorola Shadow is supposed to be nearly 9mm thick and might hit the markets in July.

Android 2.2 for Droid Available in June?
Great new coming from PC World:
I got an advance look at Google’s latest treat for Android phones, Android 2.2 (more deliciously known as Froyo) on the Nexus One. Announced this morning at Google I/O in San Francisco, the update will initially be available to Motorola Droid and Nexus One owners in June. Android users will definitely be happy with this update, which delivers faster performance, tethering/mobile hotspot and of course, Flash support.

Motorola Droid Just $20 to New Verizon Customers
The regular price for the very popular Motorola Droid is $200 with a two-year service contract, but new Verizon Wireless customers can get this high-end Android OS smartphone for 90% off.
The Droid has been on the market for six months now, so it’s not surprising that bargains are becoming available.
For example, Amazon.com is offering this model for $130 with a renewed 2-year contract, $70 below the regular price.

Claimed Motorola Droid 2 preliminary info leaks out.
Coming from gadgetsteria:
here are a few facts on droid2.
It is slightly more rounded edges,the open chin on the current droid vs the droid2 is the same,but the face of the droid2 chin is equal lentgh.this means the exposed chin on the current droid is open vs the droid2 chin is now part of the face slider.
also the 4 soft keys are moved around just a tad.same location but the menu button isnt the 4 dash’s. its like the devours 4 squares.
the 5 way nav is gone and replaced with 4 arrows in the keypad. this allowed the keypad to be biggerfor fat fingers like mine.
the camera is 5mp HD and the phone looks nothing like the pic above. not even close. it looks very close to the current droid just evovled a tad.
The power,volume,cam keys are now flush soft touch and not so obvious like the current droid is.
I cant speak on the guts yet.too soon.this is all i can say so please dont ask for more specifics yet.

In an official blog post, Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch confirmed that Flash 10.1 support will be coming to Google Android phones in June, with a developer preview at the Google I/O conference on May 19-20.
This may dovetail with the launch of Android 2.2, which Google vice president Andy Rubin said earlier this week will include Flash.
