AppSlappy #27: "Droid makes RIM nervous"

Verizon Wireless made clear from the start that its Droid smartphone was designed to put pressure on Apple, the maker of the iPhone, and AT&T (T), the exclusive U.S. iPhone carrier. As part of a $100 million marketing push, Verizon Wireless enumerates several ways it believes the Droid outperforms the iPhone.

Yet analysts say the Droid and other devices that sport the Android operating system may also take a toll on Research In Motion, the maker of another smartphone, the BlackBerry. “It’s clear there’s been a lot of marketing at Verizon around the Droid, so that is going to hurt RIM,” says Raymond James (RJF) analyst Steve Li.

    I think i tried to post a while back but my links must have got it blocked. Either way, the ‘Derp’ is straight from south park! I knew i heard it somewhere but couldn’t put my finger on it. Google south park derp for some great youtube videos with the derp!

    Totally agree Jelly Car is the lamest game ever, they must have rigged the ratings.
