Droid establish day is here, and it couldn’t come shortly enough. For weeks, we’ve been digging through the curls of buzz surrounding the Android 2.0 Droid – the iDon’t commercial messages, the picture leaks, the Droid Eris, the formal list of specs, a massive Droid launch upshot in New York City, and that cool Droid advertisement with all the stealing bombers.
So imagine our felicity when we turned on the Internets this morning and discovered that somebody else feels the same way. Checking to the squad over at Boy Genius Report, Apple is in the final points of prepping a bargain-basement priced iPhone, which would undercut the Droid, and get the Droid launch party to a screeching halt.
BGR is filing away their story under the category of “whisper,” but it should be said that BGR is seldom wrong – this is the web logs that gained the Droid specs before anyone else, and the site has been exceptionally snappy with cleaning up gossip on all way of smartphone. If BGR is right, Apple would set up a $99 8GB iPhone 3G S then in the following month.
The thought is fairly clear: A sub-$100 iPhone, priced for Christmas shoppers, and rolled out right in clock time to flatten out the Droid launching parade. (It should be said that the $99 iPhone given obviously only number in at $99 if you purchased the thing with a two-year contract.)
Meanwhile, many bloggers have whisked themselves into a hysteria over a second Droid smartphone, which is being fabricated by the Taiwan company HTC. The Droid Eris, which will also be sold-out by Verizon, will reportedly suffer a cost tag of $100, less than half the price of the Motorola Droid, and good in line with the BGM judge on a cheaper iPhone.
Among the features on the HTC Droid Eris are a Qualcomm MSM 7600 528MHz processor, a 5.0 megapixel auto focus photographic camera, and a 3.2 inch 320×480 HVGA capacitive contact screen.
