Am I Becoming an Android Girl?

Here at JAMM, I am known as the Palm and Zune girl. (As a side note, I have no electronics related tattoos.) I am the one that stuck up for Palm and Zune when there was no webOS or ZuneHD. So, let’s just say I have taken a fair amount of grief about the ancient Palm OS and the lagging behind Zune. However, I now find myself in an interesting position. I am lusting after the new Droid phone from Motorola and Verizon. As a Verizon customer, I have long been suffering with no ‘cool’ phones like the iPhone or Pre. Android has been gaining ground as more and more smartphones appear, and the first impressions of the Droid have been great. Check out Cnet’s initial impressions.
So, with the fabulous screen, happy new web browser, and Google integration, I may need to go sniff out the Verizon Store come Nov. 6. I especially love the goodness of Google Maps Navigation. You can search by voice. Just say ’shoes’, and it gives you a choice of stores that sell shoes that you can choose to call or get directions. Plus, there is voice turn by turn directions, traffic, and auto-rerouting. All of the features in a stand alone GPS at your fingertips.
Do you think Verizon and Motorola hit a home run or is this just a good first attempt?
In other Android thoughts, I am also totally loving the Nookfrom Barnes & Noble. If the internet function works well on this toy, it will be on the top of my Christmas list.

Maybe I just need to support the underdog: Zune vs. iPod, Palm vs. Everyone, Nook vs. Kindle. Maybe I am just a rebel or maybe I just like to explore the road less traveled, either way; it looks to me like my new best friend will be a new little green robot. But don’t worry, I won’t be getting a tattoo…
