Available Accessories For The Motorola Droid Pro
Tuesday, October 5, 2010
With the success of the Motorola Droid line of smartphones offered by Verizon, it comes as no surprise that the Motorola Droid Pro will be the next smartphone released in the line. Coming sometime in the late fall of 2010, the upcoming Droid Pro is sure to be as much of a hit with the Droid consumer base as the others are. Motorola Droid Pro accessories will also become a big hit as well since users must always protect an investment such as the Droid family of smartphones.
The upcoming Droid Pro with its 1.3 GHz processor and 4-inch display promises to offer the fastest Android OS browsing, even if it is on a downgraded display size-the Motorola Droid X is 4.3-inches. However, with the amount of power the smartphone-to-be is sure to use, a Motorola Droid Pro charger should be accommodating enough to power it up without wasting precious time.
It’s safe to assume that Droid, Droid 2, and Droid X chargers will be compatible with the Droid Pro phone. If this is indeed the case, then there should be no shortage of Motorola Droid Pro Desktop Chargers available for the device. One good example is the Motorola Droid Desktop Charger for Droid and Droid X. This charger docks the Droid at a comfortable viewing angle while charging it and providing multiple functionalities.
Another of the Motorola Droid Pro chargers that should do the trick when a person is in the car and on the move includes the Amzer Lighter Socket Car Mount with Power Dongle. This charger for Motorola Droid, Droid 2 and Droid X features full articulation to allow the charger to move in any direction while attached to the device. The included dongle allows the user to charge other Motorola Droid Pro accessories and other devices such as Bluetooth devices, iPods, other cell phones and GPS units and more. Essentially, anything that uses a cigarette car lighter to charge fits on the dongle.
Some of the other top accessories for the Motorola Droid line of smartphones include cases. The PDA Skins Motorola Droid 2 and Droid X case should be perfect for the Motorola Droid Pro. This case features a horizontal design of which users can slip their phone in and out quickly and easily. They can also clip the case on a belt and store other items inside of it. Available online from Everything Android for $19.99, this is a case worth the price for protecting the Droid Pro. With a release date in November 2010, it may be wise to stock up on Motorola Droid Pro accessories now. On the other hand, people may want to wait because there is no telling how large the Droid Pro will be and what Motorola Droid Pro accessories will become available that users of the original Droid line cannot buy now.

The Newly Released Motorola Droid Pro
Thursday, September 2, 2010
Motorola has had a major success with its line of Android powered Droid line of phones. Starting with the release of the original Droid, complete with a marketing campaign as massive as anything that the iPhone has had, the handsets have rooted themselves in the public consciousness as a true competitor to the iPhone. When the Droid Pro is released later this year, it will finally serve as a replacement for the aging Milestone (which is the original Droid sans the branding).
According to many sources that seem close to the material, the currently unreleased Droid Pro will be the international version of the US only Droid 2. The major difference will be in the radio used to make the calls: while the Droid Pro uses the GSM/HSDPA radio that is most common throughout the World, the Droid 2 uses a CDMA radio that can be used on Verizon. The device, like the Droid 2, should look almost identical to the Droid/Milestone. This is handy because when shopping for Motorola Droid Pro accessories you can use the Droid/Mileston’s options. The dock for both the original Droid and the Droid 2 have the same capability; it is likely to be the same for the Droid Pro and the Milestone. This makes shopping for a Motorola Droid Pro cases quite simple because you already have a large selection of compatible options on the market.
Even today, people still consider the Droid/Milestone to be a fairly powerful device. While its OMAP processor is technically slower than the more common 1 GHz Snapdragon, a different processor design enables the Droid/Milestone to compute more efficiently. So in testing, calculations performed on the slower OMAP happened just as fast on the faster Snapdragon. However, the Droid 2/Droid Pro uses a 1 GHz OMAP processor. This means that performance on the handset is better than any other current option. In addition, the Android 2.2 “Froyo” is now available on the handset. In addition to several interesting new software features, this newer version of the operating system bring a much better performance over those older versions. All told, the Droid 2/Droid Pro flies.
Like the original Droid/Milestone, the new Droid 2/Droid Pro has an 854 x 480 resolution screen. This is somewhat smaller than the new iPhone 4, but the difference is not all that noticeable. This screen is fairly small in the current crop of Android devices at 3.7 inches, but this serves to make the pixels more compact. Also, many prefer the smaller size to the recent massive 4-4.3 inch screens. Touchscreen performance is just as good as it was on the original and is not likely to even be reduced when using Motorola Droid Pro Screen Protectors. One major complaint about the original Droid/Milestone was its keyboard. Considered a major differentiator, the keyboard suffered from flat, indistinguishable keys that were laid out somewhat oddly. The Droid 2/Droid Pro fixes this, doming the keys so that you can get a feel of each one and improving the layout. The differences are not massive, but then the Droid 2/Droid Pro is meant as an evolution of the Droid/Milestone rather than a brand new device.
Motorola’s new Droid Pro will definitely bring that much needed refreshment to Motorol’as Android line of handsets when it gets released. Althought the Droid Pro is more of an evolved version of an existing model opposed to being a brand-new model, its features and improvements are still significant enough to warrant purchase.
