The new Verizon cell phone, the Motorola Droid X is in close competition with Apples new iPhone 4. “If Apple cannot resolve these iPhone 4 problems, unsure potential customers may move over to Motorola’s new Droid X as their communication device of choice.” (Harten). The Droid X, may be the phone to conquer all. The Droid X has many new features, some which even beat out the iPhone. There are plenty of games available, and awesome new applications and software that allow for the ultimate efficiency, organization, and fun! The iPhone currently has over 200,000 Apps available, unlike Apple’s iPhone, anyone can create new applications for the Droid X, so the options are endless. Soon, the Droid will be in close secession with the iPhone and its applications. Currently, the Droid X has 70,000 applications, which still is a whole lot of apps! In regard to the screen size, memory, and camera, the screen on the droid is bigger than the iPhone, they have equal memory compatibility; if you purchase an extra memory chip for the Droid, and the camera on the Droid is 8MP opposed to 5MP. Although the Droid’s screen size is bigger, 4.3 inch in comparison to 3.5 inch, the IPhone does in fact have a higher resolution. The iPhone contains special Retina Display technology, which enhances the image quality. Because the phone has Retina Display technology it can hold “326 pixels per square inch” (Watson & Writer). It seems that the Droid and iPhone are in close standing for each other. The operating systems are one of the few differences. The Droid runs on Google’s Android operating system and the iPhone runs off of Apple’s iOS4 system. Both phones have amazing features. They can even hook up to the television! When it comes to plugging the phone into the TV, the Motorola Droid does have an advantage. The Droid X is able to connect to HDMI cables, which means the image will be in high definition. The iPhone simply connects to AV cables; standard television cables. So which phone is better? Watson and Writer state, “the Droid versus iPhone debate is one of the greatest battles of our time”. Now that is impressive. The battery life on the iPhone is outstanding for a smart phone. Verizon has not yet released the exact battery life for the Droid X, however extension battery packs are available. It seems that the Droid X is the new iPhone for Verizon. The Droid X and iPhone are even the same price, $199 with a contract. The Droid X however does come with insurance, where as the iphone4 does not. If you misplace or damage your phone, Verizon insures another for free, where has Apple does not. Who wants to buy a whole new phone? It is pretty clear that the Droid X may be beating out the iPhone. The Droid has GPS, Wi-Fi, voice commands, as well as many other awesome and unique features. Who wouldn’t want this awesome phone?
