Cranking out news for the geeks, music buffs and gossip junkies, my way. -Greg

A panel of judges from CNET.com put Apple’s Snow Leopard operating system up against Microsoft’s latest and greatest, Windows 7. Watch the two operating systems go head-to-head in five RAM-crunching rounds, and see who comes out on top in this subjective battle.

 

So apparently Verizon / Motorolas Droid phone counting down website went live by “accident” and showed its colors, and they are AWESOME! Seriously folks, once I started to read a bit more about Android I knew that it was going be my next phone of choice. I just have to wait for Dell to finish designing their first entry into the cell phone market. Why, because Dell is creating a phone with Android for AT&T. However, after reading the specs on the Motorola Droid for Verizon, I have 2 thoughts. 1. “OMG” I want this phone and I’m almost willing to part ways with AT&T and head to Verizon to get it. 2. Imagine if I wait for the AT&T Dell created Android phone,  it’s Dell. I’m mean I would have to assume that their first entry into the cell phone market would be a powerful one at the least, that would have to match and beat their current competitors, which at this point would really only be the Motorola Droid. ‘Nuff said, I’m going to impatiently wait for the Dell Android phone, and spend my extra time drooling on the Droid at my nearest Verizon store after its officially released. Hurry up Dell, I’m awaiting to speak those infamous words, “Dude, I’m getting a Dell!” -Greg
