^^Correct (and telsea: I know, that was the point of my posts) Anyways, The Motorola DROID is the name of the new Moto device being released, there will also be a DROID Eris, made by HTC, launched alongside the DROID. DROID is VZW's name for their line of Android devices, regardless of what version of Android they are running (Moto DROID is 2.0, HTC DROID Eris is 1.5...unfortunately)

I was just letting the OP aware, since he/she asked about "droid" on the TP2. Regardless if it's one phone or 100 phones.

No matter what happens I will always call Android, droid. Droid has always been short for the word android. VZW is succesfully making me sound less accurate. I always felt a little like The Fonz saying droid instead of android. dammit man! Verizon steals the tiny amount of cool I own. Anyway on the reals gsm android on htc winmo phones is a reality; data and voice. CDMA is a little slow on the uptake due to a lack of devs and the lateness of Sprint to ..droid, I think.

No it hasn't. Lucas came up with the word in Star Wars, hence the copyright. It just means robot. Remember the line "These aren't the droids you're looking for"? Yeah, he didn't mean android, because R2-D2 is certainly not an android
