Motorola Milestone
The latest mobile phone from Motorola called the Droid in U.S. and Milestone in Europe is making waves among gadget enthusiasts having already sold 800,00 sets in US since its introduction in November. It is the first to use Android 2.0 operating system, Google’s competitor to Windows Mobile, Symbian and the like for mobile devices.
It resembles both a netbook and a mobile phone in its functionalities. You can browse the web, send/receive emails, instant message all at once due to its multitasking capabilities. You can run many apps in the background like composing an email, listening to music, receive IM alerts etc. in a single window. With its huge 32 GB storage, you can store lots of audio and video files. Its nearest competitor is the iPhone though the latter does not have multitasking capability as yet.
Its 3.7 in wide touch screen has 480 x 854 pixels resolution and gives you bright images. The sliding QWERTY keyboard makes the device compact and the battery lasts up to 7 hours with a single charge. The 5 MP camera dishes out smooth pictures and videos and there is facility for DVD video recording and SD card support.
As with other Android devices, one can download games and other software from the Android Marketplace similar to Apple’s iPhone though the selection is not as great yet but growing. One of the key applications available with Motorola Milestone is Motonav, the mapping software offered free for 60 days trial. It turns the mobile phone into a satellite navigating device through which users can receive traffic alerts, route maps, detailed directions etc.
To sum up Motorola Milestone is a definite head turner and a welcome innovation to the mobile phone marketplace. Its Android 2.0 OS is sure to go places and already there are indications of PC manufacturers like Lenova adopting it in their soon to be released mobile gadgets.
