Droid Aeris
there's a materia for that!
Oh, I’m sorry, it’s “Droid Eris”.
A little over a week ago, Verizon launched their new line of smart phones, the “Droid” phones that will be running Google’s Android OS. I’m actually very excited about these phones as it means Verizon is starting to get competitive with their smart phones. I haven’t personally used one of these phones, but a friend of mine has it and seems to really like it. That’s saying a lot considering he used to use a blackberry and owns an iPod Touch, ie all the smartphone OS’s (does anybody have a Palm? anybody?). Reports from Engadget said that Android 2.0 interfaced weirdly with the actual phone aspect of the device, so I think I’ll wait for Android 2.1 before investing. A part of me wonders why they chose the name “Eris”, for the phone which, btw, is actually the HTC Hero. They could’ve picked something more robotic, like the “Droid Servo” or the “Droid T1000″.
