This article highlight the Motorola Droid, a new phone offered exclusively By Verizon wireless. It was designed for people seeking an alternative to the iPhone and shows that while the iPhone has standard it is not immune to threat or rather “not untouchable” as stated by Straton (www.cnn.com). The Droid offers many similar features and runs on the Android OS. The Droid offers voice activated search feature for music photos and contacts, Google maps turn by turn GPS directions, it also offers a 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. It has a Webkit HTML 5 browser, and it's powered by a 550MHz processor and a removable lithium ion battery offering 6.4 hours talk time and up to 11 days of standby time.
This correlates with Chapter seven, Networks, Telecommunication, and mobile Technology, because it describes yet another gadget in the assistance of mobile technology. The Droid would be classified as a Smartphone because it offers both PDA and phone function. It also shows how we are integrating more and more mobile technology in that it also offers a GPS system, WI-FI and Bluetooth. I am quite excited about this phone because it provides a powerful tool as great service. While researching and reading some blogs comparing the droid I came to the conclusion that the Droid was more Business oriented, while the iPhone was more multi-media orientated.
