The Motorola Droid will always be known for starting the Android revolution. With its unlocked boot-loader, it has always been popular among power users and developers who have now ported Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, breathing new life into it.
It has been a long time since the device received its last update which was Android 2.3 FroYo back in Summer 2010. The device which was originally launched with Android 2.1 was upgraded to Android 2.2, but was shelved in favor of newer devices by Verizon not long after its Gingerbread update.
While it may not have the most powerful hardware compared to some of the beasts in the market today, it has seen its far share of ROMs including Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Check out the original Motorola Droid running Android 4.1 in the following video demo:

Google I/O attendees receive Motorola Droid or Nexus One
The attendees of Google I/O 2010 got to experience more than the latest Google technologies as they will be receiving a special gift this year in the form or either a Motorola Droid or a Google Nexus One. Last year's attendees also received Android handsets, but Google has decided to ship the devices out this year to avoid spending time handing them out and registering them during the event.
The only downside is that you can't choose between the two devices as Google is sending them based on what location they entered when they signed up for the conference. But this shouldn't matter too much when you are receiving one of the two hottest Android handsets in the market.
