Ето че и JKK Mobile или иначе казано , човека с прякор JKK от Финландия и собствения му уеблог – ТУК , се е сдобил с европейската версия на Motorola DROID.
И както е приказката , че 1 картинка разказва 1000 думи , мисля че цялото видео разказва достатъчно само за себе си , плюс личния коментар на JKK.

This is the beginning of the end folks. Smartphones have been around for sometime but it seems like the iPhone lead the way into the main stream audience and now the smartphone industry has exploded. Back in 2007 Apple introduced the iPhone which captured the attention of the general public for the first time. So why is 2009 the year of the smartphone? Lets take a look at what is different today compared to years prior.
In 2007 we went into the holiday season with an iPhone for $299.99 and $399.99. If you recall that year the iPhone had neither a 3G signal nor apps. The Razr was still king of sales in the United States but the iPhone was received well. Along with AT&T’s pretty expensive data plans the smartphone universe was still just a figment of the mass markets imagination.
2008 comes along. In 2008 we saw the introduction of phones like the Instinct and the LG Dare but none of these phones had the impact nor the usability the iPhone brought to the table. All of 2008 basically belonged to Apple. Then in July Apple introduced the iPhone with a 3G radio for $199.99. This is where a spark was struck and it was time for smartphone makers to get serious if they were to compete with Apple. In October the first real competitor was born. Android, Google announced the G1 and in October the phone launched with quite a bit of enthusiasm. The iPhone was still locked to AT&T, no users lusting for a smartphone wanted the LG Dare or the Samsung Instinct, so the somewhat feature lacking G1 was the next best thing. It’s launch was a bit stunted by the United States smallest main stream carrier but the G1 took and Android was something that seemed promising. Still going through the holiday season of 2008 we had the iPhone 3G for $199.99 and the first Android phone for $179.99. Just when it seemed like Apple had completely removed everyone else from the game Palm had a little surprise hidden up their sleeve.
2009, the year of the smartphone. Now things are starting to get serious. Palm at CES 2009 announced their first iPhone competitor, the Palm Pre, and it held a lot of promise. So with no official release date from Palm, Google stepped up it’s game. In early 2009 the price of the G1 dropped and the MyTouch 3G was launched along with the release of Android 1.5. Though still slightly crippled by T-Mobile, the Android devices held their own. In mid may Palm announced the Pre release date and the phone had a heavy emphasis on the open source community and its seemless multitasking. The launch went as well as Palm could have expected, however the Pre was launched on a carrier that was bleeding subscribers for some time. The Pre brings promise and is expected to launch on Verizon in early 2010. There were some Blackberry launches later in the year which include the Bold 2 and the Blackberry Storm 2, but neither phone really has users excited because the OS has little to no change. Then HTC put out their first fully customized version of Android showing just what is possible.
HTC changed the game for Android showing off what Android OS had potential to become. They added their Sense UI which allows for more robust widgets, more home screens, some UI changes throughout, and multitouch. The Hero launched on Sprint here in the United States. It was a quiet launch compared to the iPhone, the G1, and the Pre, but it was a notable launch. There were some initial bugs when it came to sluggishness in the UI but a carrier firmware release quickly fixed these issues. The Hero to date was the most promising Android device in town. Outside of the Hero, Android was still on the rise.
Palm had their come back and now it was Motorola’s turn. Motorola then collapsing because the Razr just wasn’t doing it for people anymore and they hadn’t launched a phone that people were excited about in a long time. The rumors were flying that Motorola had something Android under their hat. Finally they announced the Motorola Cliq which showed some promise but also a bit of let down when the specifications seemed to be the same specs of the G1, the MyTouch, and the HTC Hero which is the ARM 11 clocked at 588 Mhz. At this point we had the Pre and the iPhone 3GS with the next Generation ARM Cortex A8 processors with the powerVR Chipsets, so the same old Android processor was beginning to look a little ancient. The Cliq also was going to be launched on T-Mobile which is starting to seem a bit Android crowded at the moment but either way it doesn’t hurt Google to have more Android on the market. Then Motorola blows up the blogosphere with their new Verizon device called the ‘Motorola Droid’ powered by Google’s brand new Android 2.0. This was the first mainstream smartphone on Verizon that people were really excited about. The first Blackberry Storm launch was big but slowly faded as people grew annoyed with the Surepress technology and bugginess of the phone.
There were few small launches here and there which includes the Samsung Behold 2, which has Android and samsungs Cube UI known as Touchwiz, The Droid Eris which is Verizon’s version of the HTC Hero, and the Samsung Moment on Sprint. Early in October Windows Mobile launched 6 devices on multiple carriers with their new iteration of Windows Mobile now dubbed, ‘Windows Phone’, which has Windows Mobile OS version 6.5. Not enough changes in this OS to get people excited. The HD2 looks promising but won’t be in the U.S. until sometime in early 2010. That brings us to now.
This holiday season things are different. Smartphones still have a small market share but the offerings are so good and so affordable it is hard to imagine peoeple who will actually be signing a new 2 year agreement for a feature phone. Let’s take a look at some of the offerings. In 2007 we had the iPhone for $299.99. In 2008 we had the iPhone 3G and the G1 at $199.99 and $179.99. These phones were only on AT&T and T-Mobile. In 2009 we have smartphones on every large carrier in the U.S. Sprint is offering the HTC Hero for $99.99, Samsung Moment for $199.99, Palm Pixi for $99.99, Palm Pre for $149.99, Touch Pro 2 for $349.99, and a range of Blackberries from $49.99 to $199.99. On T-Mobile you have the G1 for $129.99, the MyTouch for $149.99, the Motorola Cliq for $199.99, and the Samsung Behold 2 for $229.99. T-Mobile also has a handful of blackberry handsets ranging from $99.99 to $199.99. On AT&T you have the iPhone 3G for $99.99, 3GS for $199.99, Windows Phone for $199.99, and the many variations of the Blackberry ranging the same prices as Sprint and T-Mobile. On Verizon you have the Blackberry Storm 2 for $199.99, the Droid Eris for $99.99, the Motorola Droid for $199.99, another variation of the Windows Phone for $199.99, and the LG Chocolate Touch for $149.99.
The options available today are tremendous and the prices are constantly dropping. Sprint and T-Mobile have set some new low prices on data plans making it even more affordable month to month to own a smartphone. So that begs the question. What is stopping you from purchasing a smartphone this year? Will smartphones outsell feature phones this holiday season? Feature phones are still selling well because with a feature phone you don’t need to pay for a data plan and so many of them are free, however during the holidays phones are gifts. Is there really anyone hoping to get a free feature phone for Christmas this year? We are starting to think this may be the first holiday season in history where phones called ‘Smart’ will out sell your old feature phones.

According to this article, the Motorola WX395, powered by Mediatek (MTK), will be released this month.
Motorola will launch its WX395 handset in November 2009 targeting the markets in Asia, the Chinese-language Commercial Times quoted an analyst of JP Morgan Chase as indicating.
The WX395 is powered by chipset solutions coming from Taiwan-based IC design house MediaTek, with the finished products to be rolled out by China-based TCL, the paper noted. MediaTek also confirmed that it has begun shipping chipset solutions to Motorola, the paper quoted the company as saying.
No matter what type of product your company delivers, Direct Store Delivery (DSD) and Route Accounting operations are multifaceted. Mobile workers handle a wide variety of tasks – from the physical delivery to order invoicing and providing customer service. The overall performance of your DSD/route accounting operations depends on how efficiently and effectively your mobile workers can perform these tasks.
If your business is using paper-based forms, your mobile workforce captures information throughout the day using paper and pen. Time spent collecting information by hand also increases total time per delivery or service, resulting in fewer deliveries per day. The information collected has to be entered into your computer system, causing delays in the order-to-profit cycle. Throughout the process, collected data is compromised due to hand-writing and data-entry errors. The lack of real-time communications impacts the overall performance of your DSD/Route Accounting operation.
Paper-based processes result in costly labor intensive processes and cause bottlenecks in the flow of information throughout your business. With a real-time connection to your system, your workers can perform virtually any task, on the spot. Wasted time is eliminated, streamlining your business processes and reducing cycle times throughout your operations.
Some key benefits of real-time wireless data collection:

Dopo le prime indiscrezioni, ecco le caratteristiche del Motorola Motus. Innanzitutto non ci sarà nessuna tastiera sul retro del telefono, ma un touchpad, la cui utilità non è ancora ben chiara.
Le caratteristiche ricordan da vicino l’HTC Magic Tim o l’Hero. Sarà molto interessante vedere utilità e funzionamento della reverse flip keyboard.

Alright seriously Google, now you’re just trying to get a rise out of me right?
I just got done coming to terms with waiting until mid-December for the HTC Passion release and now you have to go and do something like this. Like the holidays aren’t stressful enough.
Here, in no particular order, is why I’m not going to take this seriously and my decision is going to be made in December based on the Passion versus the Droid.
Alright, I’m the calm center of the universe again and I’m going to go back to trolling for Passion news.

Simak jawabannya dalam review yang disarikan dari Cnet berikut ini:
5. Samsung i8910 Omnia HD
Samsung, vendor ponsel asal Korsel ini belakangan giat membanjiri pasar dengan deretan ponsel kelas atas. Salah satu yang patut diperhitungkan jelas Omnia HD. Meski berukuran cukup besar, dengan berat 148 gram, ponsel ini tetap nyaman digenggam, bahkan terkesan elegan.
Aplikasi dan fitur yang ada memang bikin ngiler, di antaranya layar AMOLED besar dengan tampilan cemerlang. Kameranya 8 megapiksel dengan kemampuan video recording HD (high definition). Layar sentuh berbasis TouchWiz disebut-sebut sebagai yang terbaik dibanding milik ponsel Samsung lainnya. Masih kurang? Masih ada fitur Wi Fi, Bluetooth dan GPS.
4. HTC HD 2
HTC merilis HTC HD 2 atau kode namanya Leo, yang siap membuat vendor lainnya iri. Salah satu alasannya, layar toucshcreen-nya yang berukuran 4,3 inch terbilang impresif. HTC HD 2 adalah ponsel berbasis Windows pertama yang ditautkan dengan interface HTC Sense yang sebelumnya menyambangi HTC Hero.
Ponsel ini juga dibekali prosesor dahsyat dari Qualcomm, yakni 1Ghz Snapdragon yang menjamin penggunaan aplikasi secepat kilat. Selain itu, masih ada fasilitas kamera 5 megapiksel, Bluetooth 2.1 dan jack headphone 3,5 mm.
3. BlackBerry Storm 2

Last Thursday, I went down to Union Square in downtown New York City and ran into Verizon’s marketing juggernaut for its new Droid phone.
The new Motorola device, which was released today to the general public, is being supported by the single largest marketing campaign that Verizon has ever launched for a single device.
So what does all that money buy? Well, lots of glitzy TV commercials but also some cheesy live marketing events. As I got off the train at Union Square, I noticed a long line of about 75 people. The people were waiting to get the chance to play a game in which you could scoop up a Droid phone in one of those boardwalk games with the little hand-operated cranes. All that was missing was a carnival barker shouting into a megaphone with a monkey perched on his shoulder.
Verizon is clearly pulling out all the stops to turn the Droid into a hit. And so far, it seems to be working.
Verizon Wireless starts selling its first Android phone, the Droid (“by Motorola”) today. I have tested the new phone, and I think that it’s awesome (for a smartphone). The Droid couples impressive hardware with the much-improved Android 2.0 OS, and the result is first Android phone that’s fully worthy of being compared to the iPhone 3GS and Palm’s Pre. (It’s most definitely an example of the class of device that Walt Mossberg calls “super-smart phones.”)
I don’t expect every Verizon customer who’s currently lusting after the iPhone to buy a Droid instead, but I think a meaningful percentage will–and that overall, they’ll be pleased.
But the Droid is hardly above criticism. As I’ve been using one and mostly enjoying the experience, my mind has been racing ahead to…next year’s model. (I’m assuming there will be one: Already, Verizon is releasing another phone in the Droid lineup, the Droid Eris.)
So here’s my quick wishlist for the phone I’m calling the Droid II–the next major collaboration between Verizon, Motorola,and Google.
A better keyboard. I want to like the Droid’s wide QWERTY keyboard, but so far I can’t muster much enthusiasm for its feel–the overall thinness of the phone has resulted in keys without enough travel for truly satisfying typing. (I do like the fact that it frees up all of the handsome screen’s 854-by-480 pixels for content, not virtual keys.)
It’s gotta be possible to squeeze a better keyboard into the space the Droid has–for one thing, the little five-way controller to the right of the keys seems superfluous on a touchscreen device. Dump it, and you could widen the keys and make them more comfy. I’d also be tickled if the Droid II took a cue from the AT&T Tilt I used to carry and angled the screen up when you slid out the keyboard.
On the other hand, the Droid’s keyboard is one in a long line of landscape-mode models that have ultimately broken my heart. I keep thinking that wider is better, but the only handset manufacturer that consistently provides good keyboards is RIM–and it squeezes BlackBerry keyboards into a skinny portrait orientation. I’ve come to the conclusion that a narrower keyboard works better for thumb-typing, because it lets you reach any key with one of your thumbs without any unnatural stretching.
With that in mind, what if the Droid II took a cue from the Pre and provided a slide-out portrait mode keyboard? The image above is my crude, ugly mockup of what it might look like; the keyboard is swiped from a BlackBerry Bold. Give the keys a little more travel than on the Droid I, and you might have a keyboard that would make BlackBerry fans comfortable and at least some iPhone owners jealous.
Full-blown multitouch. The Droid’s hardware and operating system both support it–it’s just that neither the OS nor any of the bundled apps use it. Should be easy to fix: The Droid II should use pinching and pulling to adjust magnification in the browser, the photo viewer, and anywhere else that you need to resize your view.
A more streamlined interface. Android 2.0 is pretty pleasing overall, but it’s also a tad ungainly compared to the obsessive minimalism of the iPhone interface: Controlling the phone involves four buttons, a keyboard, a five-way controller, and, of course, a touchscreen. I don’t want to see all of that go away–I like the back button and wish the iPhone had something similar–but let’s put simplification and streamlining on the to-do list for Android 3.0, and hope that it’s ready in time for the Droid II.
A more impressive camera. The Droid I’s model sounds impressive, with five megapixels of resolution and a dual-LED flash. I found that it took nice pictures in adequate sunlight, but that interior shots in dim lighting came out murky. (The iPhone 3GS may have a third less pixels and lack flash, but its autofocus lens and image-processing technology add up to a camera that’s more than the sum of its specs.)
The Droid II doesn’t need any more megapixels, and if the case is going to stay thin there’s a limit to how much better the lens can get. But I’d like to think that improved imaging software could eke better pictures out of the same hardware.
Music syncing. Entertainment is the single area where the iPhone is most strikingly better than the Droid. For starters, the Droid lets you copy music from PC or Mac via USB, but provides no means of syncing tracks so that you don’t have to rummage around in folders to find stuff. The Droid II should avoid Pre-style iTunes-compatibility shenanigans, but there’s no reason why it couldn’t come with a utility to sync the phone with iTunes. Maybe Verizon can just put a custom version of DoubleTwist on the phone.
Movie downloads. The Droid I has a video player, but no features for acquiring content to watch beyond its built-in YouTube content. Man does not live by clips of laughing babies alone, so the Droid II should have a way to rent and buy films and TV shows. Maybe Verizon, Motorola, and/or Google can strike a deal with either Amazon (who supplies the Android music store) or CinemaNow.
A standard task manager. Maybe this is just a hangup of mine–I wish the iPhone had one too–and I’m aware there are third-party solutions, such as the nifty Remember the Milk. But I’d like to see Android get a standard task manager that integrated with Google’s online task service as well as Android’s e-mail and calendar meld with Gmail and Google Calendar.
A real ringer/vibration switch. Unlike the iPhone and the Pre, the Droid makes you look at the screen to set the phone to vibrate. A physical switch would let you silence the phone without taking it out of your pocket and annoying fellow theatergoers.
A screen built for the real world. The iPhone 3GS’s display has been remarkably durable in my experience (I’ve stepped on mine; no damage) and its oleophobic coating does a good job of keeping it desmudged. I’m actually not sure whether the Droid I has comparable features or not. But if it doesn’t, let’s get them on the II.
A bit more speed in certain places. For the most part, the Droid I is a pleasingly snappy performer–that’s one of the reasons it’s the best Android phone to date. There are, however, a few places where a little more optimization would make a world of difference. The phone app, for instance, feels surprisingly sluggish at times.
Even more apps. Android already has 12,000, which is enough to be valuable, but not enough to induce the giddy feeling you can get from iPhone’s 100,000 title App Store. I don’t know how many Android apps will be around by the time the Droid II ships, but I’m confident that it’ll be a healthy improvement on today’s total.
Okay, that’s enough wish-listing for now. Verizon customers (and everyone else, for that matter): Are you tempted to plunk down $199 (after $100 rebate and two-year contract) for today’s Droid?

On ollut hieman kiire enkä ole ehtinyt kirjoittamaan LG:n, Samsungin ja Motorolan tuloksesta juuri mitään ja ajattelin nytkin tehdä ihan pintaraapaisun. Juuri julkistettu Motorolan Android 2.0 pohjainen Droid ja sen GSM-variantti Milestone tuli viimeisellä mahdollisella hetkellä yhtiön kannalta. Droid on CDMA-pohjainen älyluuri jonka USA:n suurin operaattori Verizon ottaa myyntiinsä ja mainoskampanja on Applen iPhonea ja sen puutteita vastaan suunnattu. Aiemmin on ollut spekulaatioita että Apple tekisi iPhonestaan CDMA-variantin Verizonille mutta mainoskampanjan perusteella näin ei kyllä taida käydä.
3Q:lla Motorola teki edelleen tappiota 183 miljoonaa dollaria kännyköillään ja onnistui myymään vain 13.6 miljoonaa luuria millä se saavutti 4.7% markkinaosuuden. Liikevoittoprosentti sentään parani -10.8%:iin. Moto jäi jopa SE:n taakse vaikka senkin markkinaosuus laski itseasiassa jo seitsämättä kvartaalia peräkkäin. Android-pohjaiset luurit ovat Moton ainoa keino selvitä ja tuo Droid kieltämättä vaikuttaa ihan hienolta peliltä. Mutta kun noita Droideja on tulossa lähetustulkoon kaikilta muilta valmistajilta Nokiaa, RIMMiä ja Applea lukuunottamatta niin millä Moto erottuu muista, vaikkapa HTC:sta tulevaisuudessa? Vaikea on uskoa että Moto enää nousisi isoksi tekijäksi luureissa jos nyt ylipäätään selviää. Firma ennustaa ensi vuonna tekevänsä yhdellä kvartaalilla ehkä nollatuloksen, muuten tulee tappiota. Siis Droidista ja ensi vuoden ekalla kvartaalilla tulevista uusista älypuhelimista huolimatta.
Samsung ja LG hyötyivät molemmat halvasta wonista ja kasvattivat myyntiään ja markkinaosuuttaan vuoden takaiseen. Samsung kasvatti osuuttaan myös edellisestä lvartaalista ja nousi ekan kerran yli 20% markkinaosuuden. Viimeksi Motorola pystyi vastaavaan markkinaosuuteen silloin kuin Razr oli vielä kuuminta hottia. Samsung on kuin mini-Nokia. Luureja löytyy kaikista hintaluokista ja jopa kaikilla käytettävissä olevilla käyttöjärjestelmilläkin. 60.2 miljoonan luurin myyminen kvartaalissa tarkoittaa ja melkoisia skaalaetujakin. Marginaali Sampalla laski kuten LG:lläkin eli hieman kallistunut won ja markkinaosuuksien kahmiminen ei tullut ilmanettä kannattavuudesta piti tinkiä. Tuskin noilla firmoilla on kauheasti varaa enää tinkiä marginaaleistaan ja jos wonin vahvistuminen jatkuu tulee markkinaosuus ja marginaalit kääntymään jopa laskuun. Korean markkinatkin avautuivat jälleen kilpailulle joten kotimarkkinoilta kerätät muhkeat katteet ja marginaalit voivat olla vaarassa. LG myi sekin kunnioitettavat 31.6 miljoonaa luuria. Enemmän kuin SE ja Motorola yhteensä. Korealaiset ovat kuitenkin vahvoja ja ovat tulleet jäädäkseen ainakin TOP4:een elleivät TOP3:een.
3Q:lla voittajia olivat Apple, Samsung ja LG. Häviäjien leirissä erityisesti Motorola ja SE ja kyllä se Nokiakin sinne valitettavasti kuuluu. RIMM:llä oli tasapaksu kvartaali. Se taisi junnata paikoillaan.
Android vs Maemo aiheesta käydään muuten täällä mielenkiintoista keskustelua.
Motorola DROID: Από την O2 ως MILESTONE | LaptopBlog.gr
Μπορεί ακόμα να μην έχει κάνει την εμφάνιση του στην ευρωπαϊκή αγορά, ωστόσο σύμφωνα με την O2, το DROID θα φθάσει στην γερμανική αγορά με το όνομα MILESTONE μέσα στον Νοέμβριο. Η τιμή του MILESTONE θα είναι 404.20€ (προ φόρων)[next]
