About Anything, and possibly Everything..

A beatdown is about to go down in Silicon Valley, and Apple is about to get crushed.

Steve Jobs’ reign of terror and selling people their own socks is just about to come to a screeching halt. The last two iterations of the iPhone has been utterly disappointing, with Apple adding slightly more battery life, faster processors, better cameras, and a higher resolution screen. That’s it. Nothing I would consider magical, however just enough to get Apple fanboys off the computer and into a long line only to find out the cellular phone they needed to survive was totally under produced. The biggest features of the iPhone 4 — multitasking and adding backgrounds, things Google had integrated into Android from the beginning. So, if you are looking for something genuinely magical this cell phone season, you shoud consider taking the Droid X for a test drive. The price is also just right for the Droid X, coming in at $199, which leaves enough room to purchase Motorola Droid X accessories.

Droid X, the brainchild of Google, Motorola, Verizon and Adobe is what the iPhone 4 could have been And, thanks to Steve Jobs’ refusal to cooperate nicely with other companies (eg, barring Adobe Flash, and refusing to build a Verizon-compatible iPhone), the Droid X is possibly just the ticket Google have been wanting for to consume into Apple’s healthy share of the smartphone market. In a report published by market research firm comScore in April, Google went from owning 3.8% of the pda phone market in November 2009 to owning a cool 9% of the handset market in February 2010. Apple, on the other hand, controlled a little higher than 25% of the wireless phone market in that same time frame. Here is where the Droid X comes in.

The Motorola Droid X sports an 8-megapixel camera, Adobe Flash compatibility (a VERY big deal), a Wi-Fi hotspot that connects up to 5 devices, Swype compatibility (a nifty keyboard program that’ll make poking a digital keyboard a less stressful experience), and an HDMI output. Also, the Droid X will feature a spectacular 4.3in LCD screen, which you will almost certainly want to protect it with a Droid X screen protector. This is an absolute iPhone killer, and if Google can boost on nearly 5-percent more marketshare in 3 months without a product leading the charge, We have to imagine that the Droid X can lift Google’s ownership of the smartphone market to a practical fifteen-percent by the end of 2010, possibly swiping some marketshare away from Apple.

And one of the biggest selling points as we go into the next era of smartphones — the price. Thanks to Verizon, the Droid X will have a $30 unlimited data plan, unlike AT&T, which recently announced it will start slapping some serious price penalties on new smartphone users who use more 2 gigabytes of data per month. For those of you with an iPhone, that’s not projected to be a whole lot of Netflix movies when you leave the friendly confines of your Wi-Fi.

So, before blindly throwing any more money at Apple, check out the more geek-friendly and genuinely revolutionary The Motorola Droid X
