Wall Street - Barrons: Avoid the Droid?

Developers cut back on unprofitable Android Development

So does the Verizon Motorola Droid smartphone measure up to the AT&T
Apple iPhone? Well according to an article over on Barrons, no it
doesn’t as they say the Motorola Droid is less attractive, less
intuitive and less functional.

GADGET OF THE WEEK
Avoid the Droid?

By MIRIAM GOTTFRIED
Motorola's Droid is not a truly smart smartphone.
---

For those of you who are too cheap to subscribe to Barrons...

They also go on to state that the Motorola Droid doesn’t sync music
from computers and well is actually even disappointing as a basic
mobile phone.

On the other hand the Motorola Droid does offer Android 2.0, which is
good if your world revolves around all things Google, and syncs with
Microsoft Exchange although isn’t easy to set up and their tech guy
just couldn’t get the handset to sync.

They say the worst thing about the Motorola Droid though is its
reception which was poor in their tests, which surprised them with
Verizon, but the sound was broken up and hazy.

I find it very interesting that since the Droid came out, Vic (whomever)
has literally come out of the woodwork against it.

Seems to me that the fanbois know that their jebus phone now has some serious
competition. So what do the insecure twits do..? Attack like the whiny little brats they are...

Android is poised to eat Apple's lunch BIG time and it scares the hell out of them.
The more they post, the more it really shows just how insecure they are.

Kinda like AT&T and the new adverts - every syllable just digs the hole deeper.

Pathetic...

No need to "educate myself" Vic - I'm very well aware of the facts - thank you.
Certainly with MUCH longer "tech experience" than obviously you have..... (if you even have any, which is doubtful)
Being a rabid moron fanboi doesn't qualify as "tech experience" - just makes you quite delusional.

Let's just say - he who laughs last, laughs best.
(We will see just who is laughing in a year or so....)

Now, keep posting and dig the hole deeper.
It is quite entertaining watching you flail.

No "Applephobe" here.
I just think the fanboys blind devotion is quite laughable and an easy target.

As to the rest - time will tell.

Have you read some of the fanboi posts?

Then you should look around more. The term is used to describe many

We do seem to be getting a lot of "argumentum ad hominem"!

Calling your opponent a "fanboy", or any other term of opprobrium is one
of the fastest ways to lose in a debate.

While I'm not fond of the the fanbois, I don't think that there's much
danger of Android eating Apple's lunch any time soon.

I was reading the January 2010 Consumer Reports, the issue where they
report the result of their annual cell phone survey. This is the first
year where Alltel is not a separate company, and while Verizon took
first place in every single metropolitan area that they surveyed they
did mention that iPhone users love their phones, even while being not
happy with AT&T's coverage and quality.

From a cursory look at the results it appeared that Verizon's lead is
not as great as in the past. There are a few regions where AT&T is
especially bad, such as in the San Francisco Bay Area, but in most areas
Verizon's lead is not all that great. AT&T continues to drop in the
rankings.

Oxford/David Moyer is a regular here and at CSMA, but hasn't been too
active the last couple of months, and Vic is to the iPhone as Fox News is
to the GOP, as his frequent unattributed cut and paste posts here show.

That last one supposedly by the "hacker" who knows how to steal all of
your personal info from an Android phone was especially entertaining.

You must have the new Funk and Wagnall's. My dictionary simply calls

Todd, Todd

How do I make a point with out going down a path I am not willing to?

Several who share my views suggested a perfectly acceptable way of
proving Android is easy, very easy.

Here is a suggested demonstration'
Please refer your friends to
Android Spy Software
http://www.mobile-spy.com/android.html

Did you notice that same type of Android spy software can also
interact with a jail broken iPhone, but not a normal iPhone?
Apple has built a strong wall around their Internet connected device
so I can recommend it as long as it has not been jail broken which
breaks iPhone's built in security. A few may always have a private
reason to jailbreak an iPhone but I do not recommend normal users do
that.

All Android products by design are easy to gain root access with
after a little tinkering.
Those guys on the above web site got that from the hacker community
and are making money off of it in a legal way.
I have no problem with that.

The apps Android users need to fear are products that do more than
that without their knowledge because malware was built into an app
that appears to perform some other type of desirable function that
they downloaded from the Android App store. Anyone for $25 bucks can
post any kind of app for Android and hope suckers go for it, they will
never know what got them until it is too late if ever. Android is
beyond insecure. It is a potential nightmare for the young and
innocent who do not have a clue.
Android in your pocket, always connected to the Internet + Secure =
FAIL

Verizon has a fee for that - $350 to bail out of a Droid

unread,
Nov 25, 2009, 10:30:18 AM11/25/09
to
One area where the Droid already appears to be having an impact,
though, is in mobile advertising.

The Droid already accounts for nearly a quarter (24%) of the ad
impressions generated by Android-powered phones worldwide in the two
week's following its Nov. 6 launch, according to the latest data from
mobile ad network AdMob. That made it second only to the G1, the
initial Android phone launched last year, which had a 36% share.

A Droid problem is that Google knows how to sell Ads not Technology.

Banner Ads for instance need to go.. Everyone hates them. They are
almost worthless in the scheme of things which is why they cost so
little.

Have you seen the ads yet on a Droid home screen? Do you care if they
are there on YOUR cell phone?

Does Verizon get a cut for serving ads?

Sorry, I meant misc.phone.mobile.iphone, but if Vic or Oxford are
involved in the thread, it'll be every group with "cellular" in the

It's used too often by both sides of a 'net debate. It fits Oxford, and
Vic straddles the line.

That's software that you must have access to the phone to install it.
Given physical access, no phone is safe:

True, but again, given access to the iPhone it's trivial to jailbreak it
first.

Again, compromising any phone requires physical access.

Neither do I- I recommend they buy a phone that suits their needs without
hacking it first..

Oh the irony...

How many times have you and Oxford quoted AdMob stats to "prove" that
over 50% of all mobile internet usage is by iPhones?

Shhhh! Don't tell anyone! Ironically, banner ads are the revenue method
used by the majority of free iTunes app store apps... You don't want to
bust the myth that all it takes is a used garage sale Mac and a $99
developers fee to strike it rich writing iPhone apps!

I see them all the time on my wife's iPhone in a variety of third-party
apps. Fair is fair. Those devs gotta earn their $99 developer's fee
back somehow...

You have a severe habit of pointing out certain flaws that exist in
the Android phones which also exist in all other smart phones, including
the iPhone.

Who? That you used the term "teabagger" removes credibilty to
anything you could ever possibly say. Evar...

Do you really think you are going to make any points by completely
ignoring questions and/or drifting totally off topic by making silly
jokes about typos? All it does is tell me you have no logical or
accurate contribution toward the subject. Care to try again? Again.

That's correct. As for "wingnut" this proves my point entirely, you
can not make points or proof as they do not exist so you resort to name
calling and personal attacks. It is a very typical socialist tactic. It
is fine for the minority to scream and swing signs around, but when the
normally quiet majority does some of the same you start with the name
calling. I find it very interesting how your diva Michael Moore blasts
capitalism as it only proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that even he
doesn't understand where his wealth came from. You are the epitome of a
Mac user. Needs/wants everything done for you and really doesn't want to
be bothered with the details, is not concerned how much it costs as long
as it is simplistic. Not all Mac users are you, but you are all Mac
users. And, you've no credibility. Please, enjoy your iPhone and iTunes,
you fully deserve it.

Buh-bye...

Yes I agree.

You have said absolutely nothing logical but I am sure you are
completely aware of that. Your first words to me were to evade the
subject at hand completely and insert elementary level jokes about
typographical errors. There after you waded through your
pseudo-intellectual tirade which was nothing more than sugar coated
insults toward me, again totally evading the subject. One must assume
you have no grasp or knowledge of the subject so you are excused. Don't
make that mistake again, if you do not know what you are talking about,
don't comment.

There's nothing that you could do about it if you wished as this is
an unmoderated group.

Ah yes, going back to March in just this group (VZW) alone I see
what we are dealing with here. You *don't* have any actual working
knowledge of this subject, and you have absolutely zero logic or
discussion about you. You've contributed nothing but name calling and
trolling in any reply you made, which I will admit are limited. In more
ways than one. You are correct, I am *NOT* your peer. You are a troll
and a very poor one at that. At least when I troll I do a far better job
of it.
