SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

The tech world is abuzz with news of the first Android 2.0 handset, the Motorola Droid. (Nice comeback at being cool Motorola!) Loads of pictures and videos out there. But most impressive has to be this awesome, free, Google Maps and navigation offering on the Droid. And we are led to believe that this will be available for free on all Android 2.0 handsets. Meaning? Instant death to many GPS equipment and mass manufacturers. Ok, maybe not instantaneous demise.

This is a picture of the handset from Engadget.com:

And this is a rather noisy and difficult to understand video of the navigation function. But the visuals are awesome on their own. Maria’s bohemian cigar store has never been easier to find. Wait till the end of the video, when it get’s easier on the ear, to see.
