Fever Pitch: Happy Droid Day, Enjoy the Moment

This is an interesting place (SA) to watch the launch from. SA has a large contingent of Jobs-ophiles. There will be some crossfire, just because of 'a new gun in town'.

I don't know if Droid will compete well with iPhone or not. iPhone is like the NY Yankees of Personal Communications. Sooo many folks love iPhone and can love nothing else. Others hate it 'just because...'

iPhone has cast large footprints, too. Droid may beat iPhone in some areas, but is certain to come up short in others.

An oddsmaker would give the VZW 3G Network some advantage over the ATT 3G Network. For some reason, ATT is suing VZW because the '3G maps' (which show a big advantage to VZW) are prejudicial. I guess that substantial parts of iPhone function don't depend on 3G, so the map-disparity is an unfair simplification of the need for 3G. Hmmmm
