ANDROID NEWS
European Motorola Milestone now official
Multi-touch in, Google Navigator out |
We mentioned
yesterday that the highly desirable Motorola Droid was on its way to Germany, thanks to a few leaks and titbits gleaned from our friend the internet.
Well now it's official. Motorola has released a full spec of the European Milestone on its
website, with a few interesting differences to the US model.
First, the bad news - Google Navigation, the feature that has everyone raving and predicting the death of Tom Tom and Garmin, will not feature in the European Milestone. Instead we'll get Motonav, Motorola's own attempt at GPS navigation.
The good news? Multi-touch implementation. For whatever reason (probably due to a dispute with Apple) the American device will lack the feature upon release, whereas we'll be able to go fingers-on from the get go.
So, we'll be getting inferior navigation but better browsing than our American cousins. Who do you think is getting the raw deal?

Fail. Losing Google Navigation is a big blow, I think. It's got the entire net talking and we're gonna miss out on it. :(

This is all very odd, having two different versions, with different names. I know all manufacturers do it, but surely customers get confused? At this stage I have just lost track of which Android phone is which... G1, G2, Touch, Hero, Droid, Milestone, etc. etc. At least with the iPhone there's just one name and one set of models around the world (except for China, who don't get wi-fi...).

Ori,
How can you claim iphone is 'better at both' when you haven't even seen/tested the phone yet? Claims like that don't bolster anyone's credibility and show a profound bias.
