Rogers gets real with Android 2.1 updates for HTC Magic+, Samsung Galaxy Spica

As promised , Rogers is now delivering an over-the-air update to Android 2.1 for customers of its HTC Magic+ alongside the Samsung Galaxy Spica , though we wouldn't exactly throw 'em a party for the occasion: internationally, of course, the Spica got its 2.1 update way back in March .

Well, boom: it's not official just yet, but a gentleman by the name of Sameer Prabhakar appears to have scored a leak of an official customized ROM for Sammy's most diminutive Android set based on 2.1, which is even better than the 2.0 we'd heard we'd be getting before.
