Smartphone France reports that Google is getting ready to release an OTA update for the Nexus One that will be available in the days to come. The article does not mention the source of the news though. No way of knowing whether it's official or not.

The update will bring better memory management, fix some multitouch issues and activate FM radio on the device.
