Check out the world's 1st Android 2.0 phone
It's a pint sized power plant. Location aware. Voice recognising. App-mashing and multitasking. It can connect at breakneck speed. Power and intelligence can be more than a phone... It's Droid from Motorola, the world's first Android 2.0 phone.
Er...what is Android? Well, to put it simply, Android is a flexible software platform, or mobile operating system, designed to deliver a personalised and customisable user experience on mobile devices. It was first designed by Google.
How is Android different?
Compared to many existing platforms, Android is truly open to continued innovation and new experiences. This is because independent developers have almost unlimited access to the platform, so they can develop applications never seen before. End users will enjoy a much greater choice of mobile applications to enhance email, texting, Web browsing, music, camera and calling capabilities.
Android will serve as the operating system on many of Motorola's future handsets.
Media reports quoted Verizon's chief marketing officer John Stratton as saying that the price of the Droid is set at $199, with a two-year contract and a mail-in rebate.
However, no information is available on its launch date or price in India.
