Is the motorola droid an iphone killer?

I have the motorola droid and i am curious about what people think.|||It's not so much the Droid that is the Iphone killer, but the OS that it is running.





The Droid was the first in the high end android device class running android 2.0. When the Droid got updated to android 2.1 it put it on the same playing field as the iphone 3gs and iphones that are below the 3gs. It was on the same playing field because, feature wise, it did all that the iphone did such as apps and pinch to zoom etc. However, the Droid did much more than that.





For example:


-It ran multiple applications at once


-Live wallpapers - whereas the iphone just has a black background behind its icons. You cant even set wallpaper behind the icons.


-Built in turn by turn voice Google Navigation


-Google account integration ( so that means, google: maps, gmail, picassa, buzz, voice, reader etc.)


-Speach to Text everywhere on the phone, not just the browser


-Widget support


-Support for full customization on the home screens


And the list just goes on and on.





Even with the newest update to android 2.2, flash will be provided which apple will not even consider putting it on their phones.





Also, Google's software is open source so this allows developers to put applications on the market that apple would not even allow. Also, iphone users are stuck using itunes as a way to transport media back and forth to their phones where and android device is not limited in this fashion.





But like I say, it's really not the droid that is the iphone killer. Its Google that is the apple killer


The droid was just the first phone to really utilize some of the major features of the OS and new features as the OS continues to grow.|||I have both. The droid and a 3g iPhone unlocked and jailbroken.





Ive had the iphone for about 3 months and I just got the droid last week.





I kinda like the droid better. I just learned how to root it today. The only thing i like more about the iPhone is that it has more and better apps than the droid..and you can get them all for free.|||Hardly. When iphones go to multiple carriers Droid sales will plummet. Currently iphone is limited to AT%26amp;T. and that is the drawback for droid users. Iphones are easy to learn and have over 225,000 applications.
