Joe: Heard you got the new droid?

Me: ???? No I got an android phone

Joe: Cool can I check it out?

Me: * Hands phone to Joe *

Joe: I thought you said you got the droid? This does not look like it?

Me: No I got an ANDROID device. This is the Samsung Galaxy S, which runs ANDROID as its OS.

Joe: Ohhhh, you should have gotten the Droid its better than this phone

I love the features and feel, but it runs Corp apps like shit. I can't get Corporate Sync or VPN to work on the bastard. But I can take 720p videos and 8 mega pixel pictures all day long.

There are plenty of devices that run android but only Verizon branded ones are Droids.



I guess if you take into account network droids are better but they are still Android devices.

LucaasFilms trademarked it because they used to make a Non-Linear-Editor (for film) called EditDroid.

So, 'android' is the operating system 'android device' is the class of phones using it and 'droid' is the Verizon brand?

He means droids are android devices on verizon's network, which many people see as superior to the US GSM grid.  (ATT & Tmobile use GSM)

Thank you.

So then (like with everything) it comes down to some 'android devices' are better/do some things better than others.

Like this? I presume somebody makes an 'android device' that does run these apps well, but may have less battery and less camera.

Three hours? Must be playing 3d games or streaming music while using GPS navigation.

I tend to exaggerate.

Messing with it every 30 minutes to an hour for a few minutes at work, it will be dead by the time I get home. Probably 2 hours of actual use and it's dead.

Thanks for the link!
