For all of you non Nexus One owners out there wanting to get a little more of the 2.1 experience on your device, scan the barcode to the right with a QR Code recognizing app and voila, you’ve got the Google News & Weather app and widgets. This trick has been around for about a month now but I have seen little about it posted on the internet, so I figured that I would share it here. Along with this, remember that you can also get the 2.1 Gallery with updated interface as well. In order to install, you will need to allow your phone to install applications from unknown sources, and it should work on any device running 1.6 or above. Enjoy and tell us what you think!
