So as you have seen i have been talking about the Droid on my last few posts. The Droid is a smart phone that it is very similar to the Iphone. It has an Touch screen, can run apps and can play music etc. So why not get the Droid its similar price, similar in just about every aspect.  The reason the switch between  the Iphone and droid  wont be instant, like Myspace users going to Facebook, is that getting the droid will be looked upon as being uncool. Yes its like an Ipod and The Zune. The Zune is the Microsoft answer to the Ipod which when I had it was uncool because the Ipod is an recognized product. Similar to the droid. It wont be cool enough for the first launch of it. Yes people will buy it because the will want to be different etc but the Iphone User wont switch because of the certain apps the Iphone has vs the Droid apps.  Some apps like Instapaper, games, and Pandora. These apps along with email is not yet accessible. Also the Droid, well the Motorola which is currently the best Droid to date, ways more which is an annoying feature, plus the keyboard is virtually useless because you are going to type via the touch screen and not use the keyboard.

 

Yet there's  a debate that is an interesting one. Well the Popular apps move over when  the droid becomes more popular. Its faster the Iphone with an nicer resolution of a screen so why not change right now? Because of the popularity of the Iphone a small portion of people know what a droid is and what it does. A larger portion knows what an Iphone is and there for it will still dominate the Smartphone industry untill the droid has enough time introduce its self into the market.

 

Furthermore, since I have none I would go for the Iphone. Yes the droid seems to be faster, nicer quality screen but the Iphone is special to me because I have an itunes acount therefore easer to put music on and getting apps  which makes it an awfully more convenient . Also having an Iphone is a cool/trendy thing, in which I don’t want to look uncool, as the droid is a cool phone but not as cool as the Iphone. But having an Droid would be a cool to see it but at the moment I would stick to the Iphone.
