DROID vs. IPHONE: Who’s Better Than The Other

Motorola's Droid, the latest android phone

Who’s better than the other? By the way, leadership is measured by usability and market share. To decide who’s who, and who’s not is for us to find out.

Droid, is Motorola’s latest version of a high-end cellphone. It’s the world’s thinnest slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It boasts of its 3G full web browser, cinematic 3.7-inch high-resolution display, powerful and fast Google voice-activated search, 5 megapixel camera with flash, DVD-quality video capture and 16GB memory card included, Google Maps Navigation (Beta) with 3D dimensions and more features. Droid will be launched on Nov. 6, 2009.

It’s counterpart, Apple’s IPhone is also equipped with the same features except for the camera and video specs. However, with IPhone’s sales history, it has been noted to have gained market share and customer loyalty. A better edge to begin competition with.

Yet, PCWorld.com’s Michael Scalisi says these features alone won’t come close to robbing Apple of iPhone customers. Find out why?

Firefox 3.6 Beta Test Run

Firefox logo

When I read about Firefox 3.6 Beta pre-launch announcement, I immediately downloaded the test version. I’m curious about this new version, and what it has to do with customizing my web browsing experience.

At first, I saw the same web page lay-out, it really looks the same as the current version. But, I got fascinated by the toolbar. You can customize your toolbar by changing how it looks, and adding a persona of your choice will define your personality. A persona is a pre-designed image of various interests, from abstract to sceneries.

Then choose from hundreds of widgets and gadgets to add in your toolbar. Just click on the ‘manage your toolbar’ button and then a whole lot of new cool stuff will flood your eyes. You can have email alerts every 5 minutes, send live video emails, watch live CNN and ESPN and many more. All in just one click from your toolbar!

I think the whole idea of this version is to give your browser a personality aside from easier, faster and safer browsing. Unwanted ads or pop-ups are managed by simply becoming one of the stuffs you can customize.
