= ** Motorola's Droid **=

**//New Google-powered Droid Cellphone//**


It is Motorola's trump card against Apple's iPhone. It offers more thoughtful and convenient user experience. (Claimed by the company)
 * Brief Description**


 * How it works/features**
 * If you are a faithful Google citizen, this is your phone. It integrates seamlessly with ALMOST ALL Google applications
 * Besides providing 100% size touch screen like the iPhone, Droid offers the Blackberry typing keyboard too (slider)
 * It displays possible words when the user is typing a word. It saves times.
 * 5-MP camera that offers flash and video (iPhone is only 4-MP)
 * Multitasking feature.Unlike the iPhone, Droid's applications can run in the background, with smooth transition between applications too
 * For the GPS system, it actually gives verbal instructions (turn by turn). Currently, all GPS on phones do not give turn-by-turn verbal instruction.
 * Google Voice works
 * Customizable shortcuts to your preferred applications or functions


 * My Thoughts**
 * iPhone came out almost 2 years ago, and Droid just came out now. Droid may be better in terms of tech right now, but how long will it last? 1-2 months?
 * You can't sync the address book and calender. A downside?
