Here Come the Droids! A brief review of Verizon Wireless' new Droid line-up.
November 11, 2009
Droid launch draws tech-savvy crowd to Verizon stores | www.computerworld.com
According to estimates, Verizon is to have sold through roughly half their 200K inventory of Droids this past weekend. I believe that Google app users who do light browsing, photos, and heavy media play will probably be very happy with either Droid. Both displays are very good quality for video. I predict that Verizon will continue to do well with their initial line-up of Droids. I don't think anyone envisioned either of these Droids as being iPhone killers but they have been respectable sellers coming out of the gate.
