Droid by Motorola

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

There is a lot of debate going on around the online gadget and mobile phone experts about the Droid by Motorola being the thing that will put Motorola back on the map. It is supposed to be the answer to Apples iPhone – coming a bit late – and their breakthrough to the smartphone markets.

The hype is getting larger as the release date of the Droid by Motorola is approaching – this is the hype that was lacking when they released their previous smartphone Cliq, that did not become that big of a product that they were expecting.

Droid runs on the Android OS which Motorola is backing quite a lot on. Unlike the iPhone it can do what all of the other Android smartphones are doing – multitasking. This has been one of the biggest lacks in Apples products. For someone using the phone for business purposes it is important to be able to have multpile programs running at the same time.

The Droid by Motorola does not rely on a touch screen, unlike many of its competitors, but it boasts a full sized QWERTY keyboard which slides from the backside of the phone – it will provide a more laptop like feel compared to the touch screen phones. Compared to its strongest competitors there are some same looks as the iPhone, but with a more blocky feel.

Besides just a computer like feel, it has a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a regular 3,5mm headphone jack. The size of the screen is a respectable 3,7″ and weighing just under 170grams it is a bit heavier than most of its competitors. The most important difference is that the Android Webkit has HTML 5 and Flash 10, which are going to make flash websites accessible with this tool.

The Droid by Motorola uses a microSD card and comes with a 16GB and can be boosted as high as 32GB.

There are cases like this where small businesses get over run by million dollar companies which have dozens of lawyers covering their backs. Usually their cases have a foundation that makes sense, but in some situations like the interesting case of Monster Energy Drink attacking Vermonster beer the claims are considered outrageous.

Rock Art Brewery is a home based business in Vermont that has been brewing a fine beer called Vermonster for a long time, and now gets threatened by a large company called Hansen Natural Corp that their Vermonster has a name that is too close to their Monster Energy Drink.

Rock Art Brewery is taking action against this and has already contacted trademark lawyers that have given their professional opinion about the incident and are stating that there is no copyright infingement.

Rock Art Brewery fears that the million dollar company can easily run them over in court because of the money that they can afford to spend on the case, and is hoping that the citizens of the United States would take this as public as they can, and do what is possible to make the existense of small businesses in the USA possible.

Great MallThere has been a fatal shooting in the Great Mall of Milpitas. One man was killed in the two story building and the mall remained open for the rest of the day. The police closed the part of the mall where the Great Mall Shooting took place, and business was continued in a normal fashion.  For now police are not giving out the identity of the victim to the public. Most likely they want to keep it private until they can inform the victims family and friends.

The name comes from a mexican word milpa, which means a crop growing system.  The Great Mall is the former residence of The Ford Mustang/Shelby factory and when it closed it’s doors early in 1984 it was converted to a shopping mall in 1994.
