worth a quick read…
The mashups included below all clarify mountains of information. Using APIs, they gather the data and show it to the user in a way that makes sense. In one case, it’s a bar chart of emotions expressed over Twitter and other realtime search engines. Another takes your LinkedIn connections and displays them graphically. The other brings a handful of APIs to your iPhone, responding to your voice.

iPhone, Droid–get ready for Google domination…Showdown to begin in 2010
What do we know? It’s an HTC phone – probably the Passion, a distant cousin to the beautiful HD2 – with large touchscreen. It’s GSM unlocked and everyone at Google has one so whatever the super secret specs are, they won’t stay super secret for long.
But what if Google starts to sell this thing? This is “a big deal” on the level of Neo learning Kung Fu in The Matrix. This means Google is making hardware.
The Google Phone: This changes everything mostly.

Tech blog GigaOm has received a Motorola Droid for testing, Android This Week: Droid Lands on Verizon; Google Adds Navigation. The GPS navigation being introduced with Android 2.0 platform sounds very impressive and like a potential business threat to persoanl GPS navigation companies like Tom Tom and Garmin.
Verizon, is not putting all it’s eggs in one basket with the Droid and there is rumor of the second phone, Droid Eris, they are going to launch with Android platform–this one is supposed to have a lower price tag for the cost conscience consumer (which is every body these days, right?)
Also this week, a few details about another Android phone emerged. The Droid Eris by HTC is expected to be Verizon’s second phone with the OS. The Eris lacks a keyboard and appears to be a more budget-friendly phone. If rumors prove accurate, the Eris will be released shortly after the Droid, so there won’t be long to wait.

Just read on Mashable that Google is in production on their own Droid phone that is anticipated to be open and low-cost (I think the low-cost part is up to interpretation, $50 bucks would be cool–just in case they’re listening).
“If talk of the Google phone plan is true, the entrance of a unlocked, low-cost, Web-friendly touchscreen device will probably undercut other Android (
) phone efforts by players like Motorola, Samsung and Dell.”

I saw a commercial for the new Droid phone yesterday (of course at the time I had no idea what the commercial was about). The Droid is a new phone coming to market on the Verizon network and was created by Verizon, Motorola and Google–it is lauded as the first serious competition for the iPhone–given my network issues with AT&T’s service, if the Droid has the same tools as the iPhone it is definitely going to warrant a look from me.

Tech Crunch has a nice write and links to video.
