Recently, on November 6, Motorola launched its much-hyped Motorola Droid Android phone. A few weeks into the launch, the phone is considered to be a serious threat to the Apple iPhone. Here is a point-by-point comparison between the Motorola Droid and The Apple iPhone.

Sales of the Motorola Droid are strong and on the increase, with some reports claiming sales of around 10,000 units during the launch weekend.

Good reviews and health sales have led many to predict that the Motorola Droid will be the biggest hit of the 2009 holiday season.
