|
|
Motorola, in association with Verizon Wireless, has launched the Droid Pro, a new Android-based smart phone optimized for business use. Interestingly, Motorola said that the Droid Pro is “global-ready”, indicating that the product could find its way to customers in over 220 countries for voice and 200 countries for data services.  The smart phone features productivity tools needed for business on the move, including corporate connectivity and security, push corporate e-mail with corporate level security, unified calendar with additional work features, and a pre-loaded Quickoffice Mobile Suite. It packs a 1 GHz processor, 2 GB of internal memory and a QWERTY keyboard.Amongst its key features, the Droid Pro supports both Exchange e-mail and Gmail for business, corporate directory look-up, unified calendar for Enterprise and sync with Google Calendar, and PC-like browsing with Adobe Flash Player 10.1 on its full, multi-touch, 3.1-inch display built on Android 2.2. Even though Microsoft has sued the mobile phone maker over alleged patent infringement in its smart phones, Motorola’s Droid Pro allows users to view, edit and share documents, including Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations and Word documents. It also has a 5-megapixel camera with auto focus and dual LED flash as well as DVD-quality video, Wi-Fi-enabled DNLA connectivity, and the support of 80,000 applications from the Android Market. The product takes direct aim at a market segment hitherto dominated by Canadian smart phone maker RIM’s Blackberry. |
