Introducing the Motorola Droid X

June 23, 2010 by Kris McDonald 6 Comments

Earlier today Verizon, Motorola, Google, and Adobe in cahoots together unveiled the newest version of the Motorola Droid, the Droid X. I was lucky enough to be in attendance via remote broadcast here in Chicago.

The specs are incredible, the screen is incredible, and the features are incredible.

Motorola has ditched the slide out keyboard that was on the original Droid for an onscreen keyboard that uses Swype technology. If you are not familar with Swype, check it out. I tested it out today and I must say that is pretty accurate. As I play more with the phone I will do a full review. For now, here is a little bit of what you have to look forward to.

Some fun, but major things that need mention are that later this summer after an update the device will support Adobe Flash Player 10.1. This is something that we have been wanting for quite a while. This opens many doors to viewing multimedia. Also, they teamed up with Blockbuster to deliver a mobile movie rental/buying app. And the device supports DLNA. Wow!
