Droid iPhone Killer No, Contender Yes
There is no iPhone killer.
With that out of the way, the new Motorola Droid is recommended to almost any smart phone shopper.
It’s not going to outsell or render obsolete Apple Inc.’s device.
But it’s competitive, combining neat technology with the reliable Verizon Wireless 3G network.
The Droid lives up to its name. Here’s a rundown:
Screen: It’s astoundingly sharp, with much higher resolution than most phones, and text and pictures redefine the word “crisp.”
OS: The latest version of Google’s Android operating system feels polished and sturdy. There are tons of apps, and the new Google Maps Navigation GPS software works great. It’s undeniably cool to just speak your destination into the microphone and see it pop up on the screen.

Qik for Android Gets Updated to Support High Resolution Recording For DROID
If you didn’t already know, the DROID is capable of recording video at 720×480 resolution where most other Android phones record at 320×240 resolution. This means that your DROID can record video at the same resolution as DVDs. Whoa.
Apps will surely take advantage of the superior hardware and the first app to do so is Qik, the live video broadcasting application. The new Qik app for Android is currently in the invite-only, beta stage but judging from the video quality taken with Qik it looks amazing. Qik also gets a fresh new UI update and an improved version of the ‘Speed Sharing Ribbon’ which allows you to instantly share your videos with specific contacts. Contact droidbeta@qik.com to get details on how to be a part of the DROID-only beta release.
How happy are you with the video recording in the DROID? Will you Qik more?
Hit the jump to see the test video of Qik on the DROID!

New leaked documents suggest all the Droid Eris grumblings we’ve heard were true: it should launch November 6, and it will supposedly run $99 after rebate. That’s pretty cheap considering it matches the specs of the $180 Hero.
