Can Motorola’s new Droid be the company’s version of the iPhone? CNN doesn’t think so.
Leave your comments below – we want to hear what our fellow Pursuitists have to say about Motorola’s new phone.
Motorola is obviously hoping that, to twist a famous Obi-Wan Kenobi quote from “Star Wars,” its heavily hyped new phone is the Droid people are looking for. In case you weren’t watching any of the World Series (Yay Yanks!) you may have missed the massive marketing blitz that Motorola (MOT, Fortune 500) has launched for its Droid smartphone, which officially goes on sale on Friday. The Droid is meant to be Motorola’s answer to Apple’s (AAPL, Fortune 500) iPhone. Verizon Wireless (co-owned by Verizon (VZ, Fortune 500) and Vodafone) will be selling the phone, which is powered by Google’s (GOOG, Fortune 500) Android operating system. – From CNN Money
