Motorola had opened up its dedicated portal for the forthcoming Motorola Droid earlier today, with the name confirmed to be licensed from LucasFilm.
The primary technical specifications for the Droid consist of the 3.7 inch WVGA resolution capacitive touch display, QWERTY keyboard, 550 MHz application processor, microSDHC expansion slot, Android 2.0, 5.0 megapixel camera with LED flash, autofocus and DVD resolution video recorder.
Secondary specifications include Bluetooth with stereo audio support, Wi-Fi radio, light sensor accelorometer, proximity sensor, GPS support with transceiver, WebKit based browser with HTML5 and future Flash support scheduled for 2010 along with speakerphone.
Sweet! Can’t wait to get my hands on one!
If only it had sense ui from htc. Whey couldn’t the hero have all these features? Hopefully htc will counteract with a version like this one.
This is no iphone killer, its long and boxey and very thick.
Nothing compares to iphone
You have never seen the phone, Is unrealisticaly thin for what it is. About the same thickiness as an Iphone but with a keyboard, Its about the same thickness as a LG Dare, Its also not much longer and has less wasted space on the front. it dosnet compare to the I phone its a smart phone the Iphone is a feature phone that runs apps, And if you were do use the browser on both there not even that close the Iphone loads very fast the driod is just done, Its almost instant like nothing I have seen in a mobile device, but way to compare the Iphone to anything that can make a phone call, ……..wich by the way the iphone struggles to do in my area , even when compared to other att phones. This is poorly written but at least accurate . “that may have been one sentence”
The IPHONE will never have flash support end of story!!! Apple can’t and wont allow it so The I phone will never be able to access flash enabled websites!!! too bad for APPLE!
I don’t think Apple is of the belief that they will “never allow it”.
Apple bundles Flash with Mac OS X, and Apple’s long-term goal is to ensure every Mac OS X feature has parity across iPhone OS and the Mac. If Apple hated Flash, they wouldn’t bundle it with Mac OS X.
The main problem is that, even in the era of Snapdragons and other super-fast CPUs, the experience is poor.
Adobe has found a new middle ground with their Flash-built App Store initiative, and Apple doesn’t seem to have any problem with that.
I think the crux of the issue really stems from Adobe’s lack of interest in developing a Flash Player that Apple could summarily reject. Adobe doesn’t seem interested in suing for anti-competitive practices either. Flash will probably land on iPhone, after everyone else has it, and Apple is shamed into spinning it into a PR wave.
I just got a droid…will they upgrade the software on my phone to allow flash or will I be forced to get a new phone?
Got the droid and I love it. Flash support had to be in their upcoming plans for this phone. They have to live up to the “Droid Does” slogan. I believe they have more in store.
STAR DATE 12/18/2010 4:20AM – WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING NO FLASH! THIS SUCKS- NO INTELLIGENCE TO THESE EXPENSIVE PHONES. WTF
