Motorola's DROID Does Plenty the iPhone Can't

[JMcEntegart]

The web has been buzzing about the DROID commercial that aired on Saturday night and if you were watching sports over the last two days, you probably caught it too. So, what's it all about?

I don't own an Android phone or an IPhone. But it's great to see Apple getting knocked down a few notches. Droid vs IPhone is the next MAC vs PC battle.

I like the first part of the commercial then all of the sudden I felt like I was watching a District 9 commercial. Should have finished the commercial the same way it started parodying Apple and their iPod/iPhone commercials. It was funny... and then it was odd.

I don't know why someone has totally ripped off the iPod/iPhone commercials. They are so unimaginative and easy to replicate... just play music, show product, write things on screen, end commercial.

More like MAC vs Linux...LOL!

I really liked this commercial, too.

Of course, it only matters if the phone actually delivers.

Let's pray it does! I only say this, not that it really will, because the blind really need to see what they are not getting with there iPhoney's.

good. I was waiting to get an iPhone. Next iteration will be all the better. I love competition!

Apple, these are not the droids your looking for.

 

[thedipper]

iDo explode in your pocket.

iDo drop calls.

iDo have large security holes.

iDo have features that still don't work.

iDo have a highly restricted app market.


Droid doesn't.

Great ad. I don't really keep up on phone tech so I wasn't aware of this ad or product, but I was glued to the tv during this commercial. So yeah.. marketing team did a good job.

There's one thing that people never consider when comparing the iPhone to competitors: does it have a glass-covered capacitive touch screen? For me, there is a night and day difference between the cheap old pressure sensitive touch screens that a lot of phones are shipping with today and the capacitive touch screen on the iPhone. If you can't get the interface right, nothing else is going to matter.

This is possible the come back phone for motorola.

I'm interested in what the "10,000+ Apps" are. Are these ported iPhone apps? I remember hearing a story about Microsoft offering big bucks to iPhone developers to port their apps to Windows Mobile. Did Google do the same thing?

 

[Steven Bancroft]

Or does the Android app store really have 10,000+ already?

 

[tester24]

LOL about time someone made fun of the whole "i" thing. Never tried using Android but this add makes me want one.

 

[cruiseoveride]

Calling it DROID is a FAIL

 

[tester24]

I wouldn't even call all the iPhone "apps" apps. Most of them are stupid widgets that are called apps, or just plain dumb altogether. Well except for the baby shaking app that was a good one.

 

[gimarbazat]

Well if you iDon't, just jailbreak and you will do + tones more apps and cooler device

 

[trih]

It would be good if apple finally got some competition in the smartphone market. Even though EVERY competitor looks like an iPhone wannabe
Really impressive, all the engineers of the world could not come up with a better idea than what Apple did a couple of years ago. I'm glad I have the original!

There are already phones that do all the Droid does. My Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is awesome.
