New Verizon Droid Smart Phone Hits the Market - Is Your Business Ready?


Verizon Droid

Some people feel the Verizon Droid may be as big as the iPhone. I did some some research and it appears that the Droid is a little more bulky, but has a slide-out keyboard and a little wider screen which can account for that. It does have a touch screen keyboard as well.

The Verizon Droid has mapping and turn by turn directions, runs apps, links to music libraries, and does many of the things the iPhone does and also has a 5 megapixel camera and low-light video capability. One of the features I also like about this phone is that it has the ability to access a micro SD card for replaceable memory.

All in all, the new Verizon Droid seems to have the all apps and functions people are looking for which is why I'm writing about this. When we look at the "Smart-Phone" market there appears to be many devices from Blackberries to the iPhone and now the Verizon Droid. Considering this new phone now hitting the market try to imagine the increase in internet usage via these devices we are going to see over the next year or so.

The truth is, if your business is not yet taking advantage of the applications, blogs, and search capabilities the "smart-phones" have, you really should be trying to determine how best to promote your business' products and services using the features these devices offer. You may want to consider building an app for these types of phones or creating a website specific to phones like the Droid.

Even though these devices have been around for a few years it appears to me that many business are still a little behind. There are some sites I've visited using my "smart-phone" which don't seem to work like they should because the developers may not have put enough thought into developing a site around phone like the Verizon Droid and the Apple iPhone. All in all, we are living in a technically exciting era, but if your business isn't staying ahead of the curve, the reality is your business may be in danger of being left behind.
