Droid Incredible new king of smartphones


Droid Incredible new king of smartphones | freep.com | Detroit Free Press: "The bombastically named Droid Incredible clearly has a lot to live up to.

The smartphone -- debuting today on the Verizon Wireless network -- enters an increasingly crowded smartphone market with high-profile handsets from Google, Blackberry and, of course, the Apple iPhone.

Android-based phones have been making up some serious ground this year, though, and the HTC-developed Incredible now leads the pack.

At just 4.59 ounces, the Incredible feels great in your hand and features an unusual topographic backplate with red accents.

Packed into the Incredible's svelte and lightweight frame is an 8-megapixel camera, a 3.7-inch touch-screen display and a screamingly fast 1 GHz processor. (All of those features top iPhone.)

The Incredible runs on Android 2.1, the latest version of Google's smartphone operating system, and adds HTC Sense, which displays seven home screens of customizable widgets for easy access to things like Facebook, Twitter, text messages and weather."
