Is the Droid the iPhone killer?

Quick answer is……No.

But the Motorola Droid is the 1st in a line of devices that are going to be severe body blows to the Apple/AT&T tandem.

Verizon – TMobile – Sprint – and even AT&T will have Android phones.

Apple’s closed system is going to do to their phone device what their “closed” system did to their personal computers.

Motorola came out with a very good device in the Droid, I have one. I came from Windows Mobile. Never got a iPhone becase AT&T’s coverage is spotty where I live. You have to admit those “MAPS” commercials that Verizon is throwing at AT&T are hurting.

All the handheld device manufacturers are jumping on the Android bandwagaon. One of the best IMHO is HTC, they are almost as good in ergonomics and design as Apple. I love the Droid, expect to get a years full of enjoyment out of it. But odds say this time next year I wll be holding a HTC Android phone on Verizon’s network. And by this time next year Android and iPhone will be on equal footing in the number of users and app store. And the year after that the iPhone IMHO will begin to decline. I didnt say go away, but decline.

Google found a perfect wave and so far seems to be surfing it like a pro. Apple rested on its laurals, tied themselves with one of the worst rated cell phone carriers out there. Windows totally dropped the ball on their platform. Palm/WebOS is looking dated. And Blackberry users keep fighting TOUCH SCREEN devices, get over it carriers and manufacturers, Blackberry users LOVE their little keyboards!!! Let them keep it!

Andorid is going to take over the mobile market…..just wait.
