iDon't

iDont understand why you would think this is a movie.  iDont think it's anything other than some new product.

I see that now.  I wonder if they're now contributing effects to TV commercials and/or tech products.

I'm pretty sure it's only on T-Mobile so it's meaningless to me as a consumer.

I'm in love with this ad! I'm kinda a cell phone nerd,, and this hit on almost every reason why I'm not an iPhone fan. The music's not bad either. And yes, the Motorola Droid is one of several Google Android powered phones coming to Verizon soon. Makes my decision to leave and go to T-Mobile that much harder, as this along with the HTC Imagio seem to be making Verizon's smartphone lineup look way better than before.

Originally posted by Captain Pipcard Originally posted by korydvandyke The fine print at the bottom mentions "Lucasfilm, Ltd." "Droid" is a registered trademark of Lucasfilm, Ltd. (due to Star Wars) Don't you think that's kinda stupid?

Droid is trademarked by Lucasfilm.  Mutant is trademarked by Marvel.  Super Hero is jointly owned by Marvel and DC Comics.  It's only natural for companies to trademark concepts that their products are based on.  Without this protection, Lucasfilm would have no power if someone wanted to make a movie about Jedi Knights flying around in a Millennium Falcon assisted by droids.  Droid is a word that George Lucas coined for Star Wars.  The word didn't exist before he used it.  Why wouldn't he protect the use of a word he created.

I feel different about trademarking Nazi or something like that.

BTW,  I have no idea what this Droid product in the commercial is.

although i loathe apple products and encourage any of their competitors i wish at least half of this commercial would be spent telling you what it does. not just stupid noises and a linkn to a website that im never going to. this is a retarded trend and needs to die. if you are going to pay for ad time at least let the people have an idea of what the hell you are selling

It's a teaser definetly aimed at the more technical set. "Open development", "Multitasking"

Yes, it's a phone.
It's made by Motorola.
It's for Verizon.
It's called Droid and apparently has some kind of movie tie-in.
Confusingly, the operating system Droid will run is called Android.
My phone already does more than iNeed it to, so iWon't be upgrading to a Droid.

i guess it could have been a pda or a phone, in my defense i had a few when i wrote that one and also thought i was in the commercials i hate board. not that thats much of a defense against stupidity though

Attack of the Show gave it 4 out of 5 on their GadgetPron feature and they are very stingy with their ratings. They loved it. Two complaints, no multitouch and the flip out qwerty pad is crowded and wastes space with a D pad that is moot when you can do the same thing on the touch screen. But other than that is is substantial. It packs a lot in and does well in comparison with most in its class (ha, "most")
retails for 200 right now.

iDon't think I've really figured out what the FU*K this is all about...and why should I care..
