Verizon Droid Resistance Is Futile

Verizon is making a big bet on Motorola’s Droid. Verizon is spending millions of dollars on advertising and Motorola is going “all in” on Google’s Android platform. It seems everyone in the mobile industry is suffering from iPhone envy. All the major carriers are struggling to compete with the iPhone and Google is stepping up to give them an answer.

This has to be salt in the wounds of Microsoft, who has had suffered several missteps and has seen the mythical Windows Mobile 7 get dealayed over 2 years. Windows Mobile 6.5 launched earlier this month to little fan fair. People are not considering Windows Mobile 6.5 a real competitor to the iPhone. Microsoft is not really in the converation now and Google has to be celebrating. Motorola’s Droid is certainly going head to head with the iPhone.
