We know that Google and Microsoft are not much happy with the enormous growth of iPhone in world market since both of them own mobile operating systems . There would not be any official Google phone or Microsoft phone in near future. But both companies supports their partners to build competitive smartphones that could beat Apple iPhone and Nokia’s Symbian platform . Motorola Droid is the latest example one such phone ,which is Android based and supported by Google . We have earlier covered the First Motorola Android phone CLIQ that already went on sales though T-mobile USA .Motorola Droid will be first available for Verizon customers of US itself . Motorola and Verizon published the specifications of the phone and launched a promo website that compares the phone with iPhone . Have a look at them .
