Update:  Most people are pretty sure that it’s still going to be the Continuum which we thought back when this date was announced.  Oh well, was worth some good chatter.

News sort of blew up last night over a couple of subjects.  First was about the Droid 2 update which looks to set the device a slight step ahead of the Droid X in software versions and will include some neat little features like the ability to set a contact picture from your gallery.  The second bit of news might have been even bigger and was announced on the air during Radio Android’s weekly show, having to do with the Nexus Two.  An anonymous tipster sent info to their hosts claiming that Samsung would be announcing the follow-up to the Nexus One in their press event which is happening on November 8th in NYC.  

The Droid 2 update we talked about back on the 18th is finally ready to be downloaded to devices.  Well, almost ready.  As you all know by now, the new Motorola devices allow for “pulling” of updates and if you check your D2 About>System Updates page, you might not be able to grab it just yet, but wait until midnight and that might change.  

Tomorrow marks the day that the enemy invades our favorite wireless carrier and we’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter.  Are you interested in the 10″ iPad?  Are you waiting for the smaller, but Android-powered 7″ Samsung Galaxy Tab?  Are you waiting for something else?  Maybe something that will be released in 2011?  And as always, feel free to express yourself in the comments.

Droid also does hip hop.  Check out this Mac Miller video called “Nikes on My Feet” that features our favorite smartphone and that damn rooster alarm which comes pre-loaded on it.  The appearance is in the first 30 seconds, so if you aren’t down with the smooth beat, feel free to cut it off after that.  To the rest of you, enjoy the music.  

There are 2 really simple clock widgets available for the minimalist enthusiasts out there that we highly recommend.  The newest is Clockr which showed up in just the last week and seems to have taken the world by storm with its super clean approach.  It has one setting for now, but the developer behind it is hoping to add color options in the very near future.  The other option is Tajm, which has been around for a long time, but doesn’t seem to get the amount of love it deserves.  It’s from the same developer who created Battstatt and offers you a little be lengthier time stamp plus some color options, but is just as lovely.  

Team Incognito is at it again with an another amazing Droid X theme.  We’ll keep featuring their work until someone else comes along with something hotter.  Please say hello to Xpired by Rola and JsinLegacy which might be their finest work to date.  Xpired runs on top of RubiX Focused 1.0 only, and is a Blur-less ROM that has few rivals.  Just wait until you see the boot animation.  

If you were looking for a simple chart of the new 3G smartphone and tablet pricing plans headed to Verizon, then the one above should cover it all.  You’ll see the two tiers that will be available as of tomorrow (10/28) for smartphones, plus the new month-to-month tablet options.  So far I’m liking the options that Verizon is providing especially when you compare them to AT&T’s.  (Pictured below.)
