Improvements to Be Seen in the Wish List of Motorola Droid
,----[ Quote ]
| The Motorola Droid has never been an
| âiPhone killer,â but still one can regard
| it as a good alternative to the iPhone for
| Verizon customers.
|
| But one should admit that the Droid was
| never a perfect handset. As Motorola is
| going to offer a Droid sequel this month,
| I think it would be right to go over the
| areas that are hoped to be found on board
| of the new handset.

The iPhone 4 faces stiff competition
,----[ Quote ]
| The Droid Incredible ($200) is also in
| great demand. This high-end phone runs
| Android. It features 8GB of internal
| storage. You can add up to 16GB of
| additional storage with a microSD card.
|
| The Incredible has a brilliant 800x480
| OLED screen. This type of screen offers
| better, brighter colors than other
| screens. However, it can be a problem
| outdoors in bright sunlight. An optical
| joystick button is placed on the front of
| the phone to help you position the cursor
| precisely.

Smartphone Upgrades: Keeping up with the Droids and iPhones
,----[ Quote ]
| A whole seven months ago, back in November
| of 2009, I bought myself a Motorola Droid.
| At the time, the phone was considered to
| be absolutely state-of-the-art, with a
| high-resolution display, advanced Android
| 2.0 software, voice recognition,
| integrated GPS, 600Mhz OMAP processor, and
| a nifty slide-out keyboard design.
|
| In those seven months Googleâs Android OS
| has advanced at a pace equivalent to
| bacterial gestation in a petri dish.
|
| Seemingly overnight, the platform has
| exploded, spawning many new phones from
| all the major carriers and TWO major OS
| upgrades, âEclairâ (2.1) which debuted on
| the Nexus One and now âFroyoâ (2.2), which
| was announced at the recent Google I/O
| conference.

Droid X Is Coming To Beat The iPhone 4
,----[ Quote ]
| The super-phone war is about to start. The
| war was triggered back in 2007 when Apple
| announced its revolutionary iPhone. The
| market back then was scattered, primarily
| dragged by stagnated mobile operating
| systems. Times have changed with the
| arrival of Gnu/Linux 'avatar' in form of
| Android.

New Droid on the Way to Kick Some iPhone 4 Aspirations
,----[ Quote ]
| Verizon is elbowing its way into the
| Apple-dominated tech spotlight with the
| announcement that it's going to make a big
| announcement next week, and it's a very
| safe bet that it's going to take the wraps
| off a new Droid smartphone. How will the
| newcomer compare to its popular brother?
| Bigger and faster, with a belt packed with
| fancier tools, no doubt.

Droid X vs iPhone 4: The Last Phone Ringing
,----[ Quote ]
| Today there are many phones which may give
| the iPhone run for money if they had a
| 'salesperson' like Steve Jobs. This is no
| hidden fact that Apple has a fan following
| and most of its devices sell owing to this
| following. Apple fans ignore and reject the
| limitations these devices have, instead of
| asking for a device that fit their needs,
| they adopt to the devices.
|
| [...]
|
| On the contrary, Android is all about
| healthy competition. Droid X will have full
| support for Adobe Flash (Adobe should now
| release Flash under some Free Software
| license). Thus Droid X will have marketing
| backing of Motorola, Verizon and Adobe.

Showing Progress with Android
,----[ Quote ]
| Threading is no small topic in programming
| circles.
|
| Some folks love them. Some hate them.
|
| Whether they are good or evil is a debate
| for the pious among us â I use them when
| they fit and you might want to do the same.
|
| In this article weâre going to have a look
| at a basic building block of Android
| applications â performing an operation in a
| secondary thread while keeping the primary
| GUI thread accessible and the user up to
| date at all times.
