Verizon’s Droid X Joins Android Uber Phones

Verizon Wireless unveiled the much-anticipated Motorola Droid X on Wednesday. The device, which Motorola variously describes as a touch tablet and a pocket-sized home theater, runs Android version 2.1. It will be updated over the air to run on Android 2.2 later in the year. When that happens, the Droid X will double as a business user’s device. The Droid X will be available at Verizon Wireless stores and on the carrier’s website from July 15 for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate.

The Droid X’s Tech Specs

The Droid X is a CDMA device with an 8 MP (megapixel) camera offering a shutter speed of 1/1,000 seconds, autofocus, digital zoom, dual LED flash and cropping, rotating and geotagging tools.

It captures high-defintion video at 720p resolution at 30 fps (frames per second). The Droid X also runs streaming audio and video. Media formats supported include AAC, H.263, H.264, MP3, MPEG-4, .WAV and MIDI.

Motorola’s new smartphone supports Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, the Android and Webkit browsers, and 802.11n WiFi. It can serve as a 3G mobile WiFi hotspot for up to five other devices and enables data access.

Owners can share videos by linking the device using an optional HDMI cable or Digital Living Network Alliance-certified technology to multiple DLNA devices such as a HDTV set, game console or PC.

The Droid X comes pre-loaded with games and apps such as “Need for Speed Shift,” “NFL Mobile,” Skype Mobile, and a full suite of Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) Mobile Services, including Android Market, Google Maps with Street View, Google Latitude and Gmail and Google Search.

Users can download Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI) on Demand using Verizon Wireless’ VCast video feature. Read more
