Consumers want a lot from their Smartphones and the new Droid from the team of Verizon and Motorola delivers everything a person could ask for in a Smartphone and more.

Synchronization with multiple e-mail accounts, calendars and contact lists, and messages and appointments from multiple sources combined in a single list as in the Palm Pre’s WebOS are a few of the new features included on the new Verizon Droid Smartphone which made its debut on November 6, 2009.

Android developers for hire began designing android apps with the long-awaited Google Maps Navigation, the free turn-by-turn, real-time nav system.

Android developers knows how to work the Android Market, an online bazaar featuring downloadable apps for use on the Android phones, which continues to be one of the platforms more attractive features. The Android Market, sometimes known as the Droid Store, has just over 10,000 apps which are one tenth the number available at their competition, the Apple iPhone App Store, that stated in October they had reached 100,000 apps. But what is important is that the Smartphone customers can get what they want.  With the Android, if you can’t get what you want, chances are you’ll get what you need. Their app store is stocked far better than Blackberry, Windows Mobile or the Palm Pre equivalents.

With the Android Market, Android application developers can publish apps in a matter of minutes and without going through a review board.  Developers say it’s a lot easier for users to find an app among (approximately) 12,000 on Android Market then by rooting around through more than 100,000 at the App Store.  Many app developers love the iPhone; however they are in this to make money and so some of the app developers are working for both the iPhone App Store and the Android Market. There seems to be no conflict of interest in allowing app developers to work for many app stores.

Unlike with the Apple iPhone, the Verizon Droid Smartphone allows an individual to have more than one app open at one time; however if an app is left running for a long period of time without being used, it will run the battery down rather quickly.

Overall the Verizon Droid Smartphone has been getting rave reviews from many new users it’s picked up along the way.
