If you where following my Twitter feed (@spf360) earlier today you already know that I’m now walking around with a Google Android 2.0 powered Motorola Droid. (To be fair, I also go to play with a Palm Pixi today too!)
How did I come to have a Droid you ask? Simple; I’m taking it out for a test drive as a possible replacement for the fleet of aging Palm Treo 700p and 755p smartphones. I really love my job!
So I have this phone for about a week. During that time I’ll be playing with it see how it will stand up to everyday use by corporate office workers. Keep in mind that I’m going to be focusing on what an office worker will be doing with the Droid. So high on the list of things to test out is the browser, camera, native Gmail and attachment support, some of the location based services like GPS driving directions and traffic updates, geotagged photos, voice dialing, and maybe some thing non-work related like news apps, Facebook, and a few games.
The good news is that I’ve taken Thanksgiving week off which will give me plenty of time to play with this new “business tool.”
If you have something that you want me to try out while I have the phone, leave me a note in the comments section and I will do my best to try things out and report back.
