Any Droid owners watching the Apple WWDC?

IMO.. EVO > iPhone 4

+1

'Retina Display' sounds pretty awesome. I do like IPS panels.

"Superb viewing angle" great for creepers at the bar looking at your texts.
...and jealous stalker boyfriends.

FaceTime Wifi only. Eh pathetic.

crappy ATT strikes again. he lost his network and could not connect to the internet during the most critical time of the unveiling as he wanted to demonstrate the new screen and had to change plans mid speech

Delete.

 

[chippy]

If anything we can say that this product is by no means a massive leap past the competition as in the past.

 

[mazz0310]

so....
#1 Updated screen, but the eye probably can't tell a difference between that and EVO
#2 Front facing camera - EVO has it
#3 ADs -> do I need say more?

 

[breadnatty08]

Wonder if FaceTime is compatible with Qik?

i been thinking it for a while, this is the first time that apple is catching up to whats already out.

What are you talking about? Apple was the pioneers of MMS and, Hello... compass!? Dude come on!

I should have put a . I knew it was doubtful. I just don't see this technology being all that important unless it can work cross-platform (ie. Qik, Skype etc). If all you have to "face talk" with is this native app that is only iPhone 4 compatible, then really what's the point?

exactly..

The only time video calling will every be groundbreaking on any level will be when its a Skype app that uses 3G/4G. Open to any and all people on smartphones on any network

 

[breadnatty08]

Looks to be it. Thanks all for the fun we had messing with Apple's grand presentation.

 

[dmodert66]

Meh...Some cool stuff, but not enough for me to ditch my Droid...Now the Droid 2/Xtreme whatever...That may be something I jump on (eventually). I'm also a primary account holder, so I'll see next October...

 

[mazz0310]

I have to say that was a pretty disappointing keynote. I was atleast hoping for something to get me drooling over the iphone again, but now I just can't wait for the next android phone.

 

[KzA]

People always talk about the disadvantage of Android upgrading at such a rapid pace.. fragmentation etc. Now, we will see the advantages of it..

Apple just released a brand new iPhone that, with the most generous of descriptions, is equal to or slightly bests the newest Android phone. We all know for a fact, that a new iPhone wont be released until this time next year.

Anyone willing to bet what Android phones will look like by the time the next iPhone comes out?

I agree, that's a very good point.

First of all, to reply to the OP - Hell F'in no.

A great idea - if it can be pulled off and the networks allow it.

I might get hated for this, but I was kind of impressed. I'd really like to have a phone that has the polish of an iPhone. I think we'll get there, it'll just take awhile. I liked the folder grouping, and I know we can do it, but not as elegantly. I also like the multi-tasking, again, we can do it, but I like the implementation on the iPhone. Also, the form factor is a beast; I am loving Android, but hating what it is, to me, a terrible quality phone. I'm all for the Xtreme.

My only problem is which Android release are we talking about? I don't think fragmentation of releases is a problem, but fragmentation by carriers is. Who knows when the Droid will get 2.2, or whichever release comes out soon. I can't compare the new iPhone to my Droid with Froyo, because it doesn't really have it.

I don't get that last statement? You think the Droid has terrible quality? As in build quality, or you don't like Android OS?

Either way, the Xtreme won't be any different. It will still have Motorola's rugged build quality (which is superb IMO), and it will still run Android.

The iPhone 4 has great hardware, but I'm afraid I can't ever go back to using that crippled thing they call iOS.

 

[stevehy]

What really got my attention was 10 hours battery on Wi-Fi (and Apple generally understates battery life), and the screen resolution with IPS screen. I originally bought the Droid for its superior screen res, but this is a whole different level, and makes reading text and browsing way better. Hope it comes soon to Android, particularly battery life.

Yeah, I think it has pretty terrible build quality. I can only go on my experience, so I'm not making a statement about every Droid ever made, but my 1st went bad with a loose headphone jack and busted Power button. Now my 2nd has a bad proximity sensor. Also, my Droid, both of them, have slid open in my pockets and killed the battery since day one, which is a problem with the form factor, I would say. My old iPod Touch has old software, but the build seems bulletproof, that's all. You may really like your Droid, I've just been disappointed. The iPhone just seems so solid to me whenever I've handled one.

.

And if the Xtreme has the same headphone jack, it's a dealbreaker for me. It's just poor quality.
