So, Motorola Announced today at the MWC 2010, that the milestone is gonna be the first android 2.1 enabled device in spain. The ETA is mid-march 2010. Maybe this gives us hope regarding rest of the world. Since the droid’s update was pulled. Also, the things we know from Google’s N1, ergo Livewallpapers, new launcher, won’t be a part of the update, atleast for the Americans.
Barcelona, Mobile World Congress 2010, Feb. 15 2010 –– Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced the launch of MILESTONE™ in Spain to become the first Android 2.1 phone in this market. MILESTONE will be available for all the Spanish consumers from mid-march.

- 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 Good news is, you can easily download the New 2.1 launcher apk to get the stilish 3d app drawer and replace the default one of 2.0.1. It has worked without any problems on my 2.0.1 / rooted milestone. Also you get 5 home screens and the new preview tabs for all screens.
Step-By-Step
- Download the new Launcher.apk ( http://sipsik.net/foo/Launcher.apk )
- Save it to sdcard
- Use Root-Explorer to backup the old Launcher.apk from /system/app/Launcher.apk to e.g. /sdcard/backup/Launcher.apk
- Copy the new Launcher.apk to /system/app/Launcher.apk note -> Launcher with a big L not l
- Change the Premissions to 0644 (rw-r–r–)
- Restart phone and enjoy the new launcher with 5 home screens : )
