Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
Motorola’s upcoming Android smartphone has finally been revealed in a set of front-and-back pictures published online.
Motoroal's Droid could be its first smartphone to run éclair
Although not Motorola’s first Android-based phone – that award goes to the Dext [1] - the Droid smartphone will likely be the firm’s first smartphone to run Android version 2.0 – aka éclair [2].
Droid is said to be slightly thicker than the iPhone 3GS, yet also the “thinnest Qwerty slider we’ve ever seen”, according to [3] website Boy Genius Report, which appears to have had a one-on-one with the Moto smartphone.
Android G1 memories, anyone?
Texas Instrument’s OMAP3430 processor powers Moto’s Droid into a state where the phone “flies”, the report added.
Droid will also reportedly ship with a docking station, enabling the device to transform into multimedia station. In this mode, the device could be used for desktop display of your local weather, the time, etc.
5Mp camera - not too shabby
Motorola hasn’t confirmed a launch date or price for its Android Droid, yet. ®
