Google phone?
The phone wars are heating up. Is iPhone going to get competition?

Im 90% sold on the droid but the only major drawback (for now til they fix it) is the incredibly small amount of space dedicated for apps.
I believe its 256MB, opposed to iphone utilizing its entire flash memory for it.

does one have to root the droid for this because if so then the majority of the customer base wouldnt be able to utilize apps2sd unless they're tech savvy and dont care about their warranty

Honestly, I see Google solving this issue, because everyone has the same problem with unrooted phones eating too much memory with apps...
Best to just change the root, to save what apps you have on the phone and store the actual app memory on the SD card. So you never lose the list of what apps you have, but if you remove the SD card, you cant use them. Makes it easy if you upgrade to a new SD card, so you have the apps available for the new SD card, you just have to redownload them your new card.

Google plans to counter that "close loop" business model and make a product that can run any application on any network.
