So I've almost got my Dad talked into getting me a Droid phone. It's getting released tomorrow, and since we are now officially out of contract we should be able to get the upgrade price + an instant $100 rebate. The company pays for all of my cell phone use and so like a poor teenager I have to plead and beg for what I want. But hey, it's all free, and really complaining would be stupid.
Google app store on the horizon. It will be user driven and will NOT require approval (from what I have heard). I've seen it in action and the device looked very "snappy", no lag at all. I had some time to kill today and so I stopped in my local Verizon store and it was kinda funny. They were all hush hush "Corporate won't let us talk about the Droid". . They are opening their stores early tomorrow for the launch. So then I stopped by Best Buy and they assured me that they would have enough to meet demand tomorrow. They are taking preorders and are offering the rebate instantly (no mail in required).
