This is the week which a strange Droid will be removing a Android 2.2 refurbish, though it looks like that refurbish won’t be bringing two of the many oft-requested features: tethering as well as the mobile hotspot. Why’s which? While tethering seems to be simply due to the miss of an app which “isn’t part of this update,” the mobile hotspot issue is the bit more extraordinary — Verizon orator Brenda Raney says that the Droid “doesn’t have [the] hardware to await the mobile hotspot.” No further reason than that, though we have the sneaking suspicion which Motorola and Verizon aren’t passing over the underline because of a miss of hardware, though since of too much hardware — namely, the Droid 2 as well as Droid X.

Correction: It’s Verizon making this claim, not Motorola.
