The Motorola Droid - Coming this October

The Motorola Droid - Coming this October

Motorola is hard at work on the Droid for what it hopes would be the device to take on Apple’s iPhone. If specs are something to go on, it certainly impresses with a 800 Mhz ARM Cortex processor running on Android 2.0, a 5MP camera with a built in neon flash, a great capacitive display measuring 3.7 inches and the world’s thinnest QWERTY keypad.

Measuring 60.00 x 115.80 x 13.70 mm, it’s just slightly thicker than the iPhone 3GS but at least you could change the batteries on the Driod. Supported media formats include: MPEG-4, H263, H264, WMV; AMR-NB/WB, MP3, PCM / WAV, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA (something iPhone refuses to support).

The crypic Da-Vinci like countdown timer on the Driod homepage got the Internet working on the release date – Pharanoid.com broke the code to reveal October 28th as the release date.
