are you starting to notice a theme to the blog yet? its becoming quite tech/mobile centric, but this is big. verizon is teaming up with motorola in bringing out a new android phone which is meant to really get it up those apple fan-bois. check out their entire marketing site or you can see the advertising campaign here:
now, the reason why i’m so excited is that again, this appears to be a solid piece of hardware
running what is becoming a pretty solid OS. i wouldnt say this handset will directly steal marketshare from apple as they have an amazingly effective marketing/brand loyalty campaigns and they would have tied up most of the potential smartphone users up with 3gs contracts. however, i do think this will bring android into the mainstream marketplace because it has the creditable backers of motorola and verizon. we are pretty sheltered here in australia, and it seems that whatever mobile phone phenomenon occurs in the US we seem to follow suit- and this could be the same. americas are very american-centric, they love buying from their own kind. they drive their GM cars, they buy their iphones and nikes, hell the vast majority only holiday within the US- so with the backing of true-blue-and-white-striped companies like motorola and verizon this handset should get a bit of airtime and hopefully cause a
few waves.
lets just hope it just isnt another palm pre fiasco!
It‘s quite in here! Why not leave a response?
