“All touchscreens are not created equal”
Spearheaded by the iPhone, capacitive touchscreens are fast becoming the de-facto standard for smartphones, but the implementation of capacitive technology doesn’t always yield a consistent user experience across varying smartphone models. It takes finesse to create a touchscreen system that’s pleasant to use, because touchscreens require seamless integration between hardware components, software algorithms, and user-interface design.

It sure must be nice to be an ad-exec. While the days of chugging Scotch during lunch a’la Mad Men may be a thing of the past, creating non-sensical and tangential commercials will never go out of style. Case in point, the most recent commercial for the Motorola Droid which tries to stick it to [...]

Not everyone is a fan of the Motorola Droid. Stewart Alsop, for one, goes off on what he describes as a shoddy mobile OS coupled with moderately good hardware. Alsop’s issues with Android’s responsiveness for example, or lack thereof, aren’t new, and while manufacturers continue to flock to Android, the software itself seems like it [...]

Gigaom reports: We have been following the Droid pretty closely, and once we learned that the device had a solid (if not blockbuster) weekend, we decided to get a better grasp of the Droid-fever that seems to be spreading across the nation. Flurry, which tracks the usage of mobile applications across various platforms, ran a query [...]

Monday, November 9, 2009
According to Androidandme, the highly praised Motorola Droid ships with a 512 MB ROM, which means that the Droid only has 256 MB of storage available for apps. That’s pretty pathetic for a phone being positioned as a true iPhone replacement. As we’ve argued before, the differences in hardware amongst competing smartphones will eventually begin to converge, and [...]

With the Droid launch just days away, the hype surrounding the latest device from Motorola has taken on iPhone like proportions. And to Motorola’s credit, it seems that every Droid review we’ve come across has been overwhelmingly positive, and also to Motorola’s credit, the spec sheet on the Droid is undeniably impressive. But just as [...]

We can’t lie, this commercial for the upcoming Motorola Droid is cool as hell. It’ll take more than a commercial, though, to convince us that it’s a better device than the iPhone.

The upcoming Motorola Droid is the latest darling of the tech blogosphere, and there’s no denying that its specs, and in particular its gorgeous 3.7-inch screen, are objectively impressive. But lost in the mix of all Droid discussions is the fact that the Droid isn’t multi-touch enabled and doesn’t offer users the ability to pinch [...]

Check out Greg Kumparak’s full review over here. If you’re pressed for time and need to get your trick-or-treat on, here are his final thoughts. What do I think of the Droid? It is incredible.
