Lots has been written about whether the new Motorola/Verizon Droid cell phone will be an IPhone killer. I’ve used both and think I can see the future.
No question, the IPhone is easier to use and has an elegant feel in your hand. When it comes to building user-friendly computer and telcom hardware, Apple has no peer.
I you are willing to take the time to peel back a couple of layers of the onion, you find something quite different.
While the IPhone may offer more apps, the Droid uses an open source operating system that allows a developer to create an application and sell it on their own without Apple’s approval, since the sale doesn’t have to go through an ITunes transaction. No more censoring gatekeeper that expects to be paid for every app sale! There are already more than 10,000 apps for the Droid.
The turn-by-turn GPS navigation on the Droid is far superior to IPhone navigation. Spoken word instructions mean there is no need to look at tiny maps on the screen while driving. No subscription service required.
Perhaps best of all, the Droid works with the Verizon wireless network. No more dealing with AT&T No Customer Service Department.
The future-A handheld device as intuitive and elegant as the IPhone, running the next generation of the Google Android operating system and able to access the Verizon network. Put it on your 2010 Christmas list.
