High Hopes Ride on Droid's Launch Motorola's Droid smartphones may have been dropping out of the sky like meteors in Verizon Wireless commercials, but they weren't selling with as much force on the first day of launch. While technology businesses continue to suffer because of the downturn in the economy, the smartphone market continues to thrive, according a report by IDC, a technology research firm. A new study from the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that the Internet and cell phones have not increased social isolation in the U.S. It said these activities led to more diverse discussions. Score one for Windows 7. The initial sales of the latest version of Microsoft's flagship operating system surpassed Vista's performance during its first few days on the U.S. market. Comments on Google's new Dashboard feature for users to see what data Google collects on them have ranged from concerns about making the data private to calling it a public-relations stunt. With the launch of its Droid smartphone at Verizon stores, Motorola appears poised to recover from a three-year slide. Verizon expects the Droid to help overcome AT&T's iPhone advantage.   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   Verizon's Buzz for the Droid Fizzles   World Market for Smartphones Grows Technology Doesn't Increase Isolation Pew study looks at Internet, cell phones   FULL STORY Windows 7 Sales Top Vista's Rollout No bugs as Patch Tuesday looms.   FULL STORY Is Google Dashboard a PR Stunt?

Given the favorable reviews it has received, many tried-and-true XP users are preparing to give Microsoft's latest operating system a try. But Windows 7 is quite a bit different from XP. Augmented reality, which meshes digital information with actual images of the subject of that data, has recently started to jump from high-end expensive equipment to Web cams and mobile devices. Garmin's Nuvifone G60 is the first GPS navigator that doubles as a cell phone and web browser. Unlike most phones that include a GPS feature, the Nuvifone offers audible turn-by-turn directions.
