I think this Droid X commercial ad is awesome! Honestly, I’ve never really been impressed with Apple’s subtle, dry ads. I may stand alone on this as my fellow Appple fanboys and girls gasp and suck the air off the planet. But behold, it’s true. I’m rarely impressed by ads Apple puts out. Droid on the other hand is totally awesome!
Just sayin’ Steve. Step it up!
Google’s decision to release a device shows that the company is worried about the fear of fragmentation of the Android ecosystem that we have often talked about. By putting its stake in the ground, the company is hoping that it doesn’t make the mistake that Microsoft made by dragging its feet in releasing Zune and ceding the market to Apple’s iPod. The iPhone, despite the issues with AT&T’s pokey 3G network, as very eloquently pointed out by Verizon in its ads, continues to sell like a monster. Google doesn’t have much time and needs to respond fast.

Very interesting, to say the least.
Thats all.

Yesterday I was toying around with the HTC ERIS and I was impressed with the look and function, but disappointed by how laggy the UI was. This HTC device above is better apparently in terms of lag and looks to be even nicer than what I experienced with ERIS. If I weren’t an iPhone owner, I’d consider an HTC device of some kind.
That’s all.
I want to point out how this video obviously takes a stab at Apple in how it is styled as an Apple ad would be, right down to the minimalist white background, myriad pro font, and reflective effect of the type. Oh and let me not forget the more immediate and most obvious ploy…”iDont..”.
Could this finally be the one device to live up to it’s own hype and 1Up Apple’s iPhone. If so, cool! If not, bummer. Why do I think this way? Because it only means something more fabulous, new and revolutionary will pop out of Apple, Inc and blow our minds. It’s only natural, and that’s tech. Let me also say that, even if it does surpass the iPhone–and it appears that it can based on the specs below–there may be a ho-hum response because the novelty on all these touchy-feely-or-other type phones is wearing thin… Or maybe that’s just me, but as the saying goes, familiarity breeds contempt.
As of yet, there is no announced price–another factor that will play a major role in the Droid’s success. Also, the company brand it comes from and it’s reputation is importantl. In my circle of friends and co-workers, Motorola ain’t liked as far as mobile phones are concerned. Just sayin’.
