Google Earth now available for Droid Android 2.1 users

Remember our earlier post on Google Earth that was rendered unavailable for Verizon Motorola Droid owners after updating their device to Android 2.1? Well, it seems that this mix up has been fixed, and Google Earth is back in the market, maintaining its free download status. No idea on who is at fault here, but it is very possible that someone at Google forgot to include Verizon as an acceptable carrier to download the application.

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.

Verizon Verizon Communications Inc is a broadband and telecommunications company. It is mainly known for its Verizon Wireless division which is the largest wireless carrier in the United States, and one of the largest in the world. Verizon Wireless has traditionally used CDMA technology and was the first U.S carrier to deploy a 4G LTE network (Long Term Evolution). Learn more about U.S 4G Networks.
