Run, the Droid is here.  Verizon has finally announced a new phone based on the Google operating system called Android.  This is the 2.0 version.  I did a small blog here on it a few days ago.

There will be a lot of phones based on the Android operating system but I am focused on the Verizon phone as that is the carrier I have.  I don't know if AT&T will sell one as it is direct competion to the iPhone.  Does it best the iPhone?  I don't know but to sell more of them it really doesn't have to be.  It is available world wide and other networks besides Verizon.

Aside from all the other neat things it does such as touch screen, real multitasking, large touch screen, voice GPS, VOICE ACTIVATED SEARCH, micro SD card, 5 MEG camera with DVD quality video, Slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a host of other tricks. it has a GPS app from Google you don't have to pay for. 

Did I mention it has a GPS that you can use.  Verizon has always disabled the GPS in its phones so you had to purchase the service from them at $10 a month.  That alone is worth the price of admission for this phone.  I guess Google has "Juice" I didn't even know about.
