Motorola has taken an opening shot against the iPhone with the release of a new TVC squarely attacking Apple's device in favour of the struggling mobile phone maker's new Droid handset.
The
video points out some drawbacks to owning an iPhone including batteries that cannot be removed or interchanged, a ban on runing background
applications and a development environment that has attracted a lot of
heat for it's often haphazard approval process.
Of the
Android handsets released to date, the Motorola Droid is most likely to
make a real dent in the runaway market lead of Apple, which accounted
for 21% of all smartphone sales in the last year, despite only having
one handset on the market.
The Droid will be released to the US market via Verizon and is set to have a 16GB internal memory, physical keyboard, 5.0
megapixel camera (with flash) and will run on the latest Android 2.0 platform.
