Sprint Android EVO

Wow, I have been watching the momentum that Google Android has and now it is being validated. There are now articles stating that Android is the most used operating system in the US. It has consumed the I-Phone and even RIM Blackberry OS. Android does not operate on an exclusive carrier agreement like the I-Phone with ATT and as a result has blossomed. Take your pick, Verizon, Sprint, ATT or T-Mobile all work with Android devices. With partners like HTC and Motorola, this operating system may be the hottest thing in tech tech days.

Sprint launched the first 4G Android device the HTC EVO. It has an 8MP camera, a 1Ghz snapdragon processor, syncs seamlessly with Google apps, and their apps market store is full of options fr any end user.

I can picture a day in the future when every person carries this sort of web driven device. We used to discuss everyone carrying a cell phone, and now it is time to convert everyone to smartphone technology. It really will improve our productivity and our ability to stay in touch with more people.

Welcome to the future.

Here comes Android

Well, Motorola is officially back in the game. Their stock is up over 10% today on strong 4th quarter earnings and the launch of Android.

This new smartphone is ready to tackle Apple, Rimm, and Palm once it releases. Motorola has some major hitters behind them in Verizon and Google. Droid 2.0 has a solid exterior, intelligent interior and is one of the thinnest full QWERTY keyboards slider phones now available. It has voice recognition, and could be summed up as a no fuss, high tech, over the air updating, multitasking machine. The screen is brilliant and has high resolution qualities as well and of course Google maps will be a staple feature. The camera is 5 mega pixels with a 16 GB memory card which is very impressive.

There are also many preloaded apps like gmail, youtube, calendar, Amazons MP3 store and another 12,000 apps that can be downloaded. Compared to Apple and its 90,000 apps, this may not be significant, but this phone will deliver competition to the smartphone market. The partners that are vested in this project are all serious players.

The unit will be exclusive from Verizon and run $199 with a 2 year agreement. For more information go to www.droiddoes.com. I love the press release I got earlier which starts off by saying "Hello Humans"

Welcome to the Future.
