All of the mobile phones released this fall, in time for the holidays, and there is just one (apart from iPhone obviously) that everyones speaking about. It is the Droid, of course (and in case you are asking yourself, like i was - yes, they did need to pay Lucasfilm's a considerable amount of cash for the privileges to utilize the Droid name). Can it be the iPhone-killer? Is it? Let's discover...
This Droid, unlike R2D2, operates on Google. And when there's one OS that eye balls are on to determine whether they can take a bite from Apple, it is the Google Android OS. Even RIM's BB OS has stopped being viewed as a rival for Apple so much as the business camp to Apple's multimedia system jungle. However here's the Android program, the web ring of the 3-ring cellular OS circus...or possibly it is the big top by itself, since business and multimedia need internet to work. Which, the bottom line is why everyone, which includes Apple, is frightened of Google. Now as the for the Motorola Droid...
There have been other Google phones put to current market since Android 1st arrived on the scene. Therefore what is the big hubbub concerning the Droid? How come everybody appear to believe this is the smart phone which will finally top the iPhone?
1. Cost. The least expensive Droid is $99; the least expensive iPhone $199. However AT&T is rumored to be attempting to alter by investing in a $99 8GB iPhone presumably being released in time for the holidays.
2. Keyboard. The Droid includes a complete slide-out QWERTY keyboard, along with a good, responsive, receptive 1 at that. The iPhone has none.
3. Android 2.. Like iPhone 2., this really is first major update for the Google cellular OS, and in this instance, meaning key improvements. However Apple did fairly well using their iPhone 2 update.
4. 5 mega-pixel digicam. That's comparable to any good photographic camera that does not possess a telephone attached. The iPhones stingy digicam happens to be one of its downfalls, and here Moto takes complete benefit of that.
5. The internet. Yes, we all know we declared that, however it needs repeating because as excellent as Google's reputation is made for things internet, that's how badly the iPhone's web abilities will always be rated. Right here, once again, this time thanks to the responsive Verizon network, the Droid dominates.
Nevertheless, as new and shiny as the Google Android OS might be, nor it nor Motorola and Verizon's articulation of it in this Droid still pales in intuitiveness and user-friendliness towards the "all-powerful" iPhone. Perhaps at some point, until then...these aren't the Droids thinking of.
