Rovio have posted a quick video of their excellent game, Angry Birds running on Android (A Motorola Milestone to be exact).

Angry birds is one of my favourite games on the iPhone/iPod touch and it’s great to see it coming to Android. A must buy for anyone with an Android handset!

It seems that Droid owners will finally be getting their 2.1 update TODAY! After a few delays, Engadget have posted info on the imminent update.

A user on the (Ph)android forums has posted a little guide on how to download and install the keyboard from the HTC Desire on the Nexus one. This will also work on Droid/Milestone (in fact it should work on all Android devices with the same screen resolution!). EDIT: It won’t install on my Android 1.6 based Archos 5 Internet Tablet.
