Droid launch binge could be cut crisp by arrival of new iPhone
Droid establish day is here, and original couldn’t show up instanter enough. For weeks, we’ve been digging considering the waves of pry into surrounding the Android 2.0 Droid – the iDon’t commercials, the photo leaks, the Droid Eris, the bona fide list of specs, a burly Droid launch position in augmented York City, and that egotistic Droid sticker hide uncondensed the stealth bombers.

Sorry folks, but the Horizons pair has Droid launch fatigue.

So imagine our happiness when we turned on the Internets this morning and discovered that someone else feels the same way. According to the span thanks to at Boy Genius Report, Apple is in the final stages of prepping a bargain-basement priced iPhone, which would undercut the Droid, further transact the Droid launch wassail to a screeching halt.

BGR is filing their report under the body of “whisper,” but bona fide should be vocal that BGR is almighty calamitous – this is the blog that had the Droid specs before anyone else, and the site has been exceptionally snappy with picking up hearsay on all manner of smartphone. If BGR is correct, Apple would trigger a $99 8GB iPhone 3G S in consummation in the booked month.

The idea is pretty clear: A sub-$100 iPhone, priced as Christmas shoppers, and rolled out right prestige juncture to flatten the Droid launch vanity. (tangible should be said that the $99 iPhone would obviously express make it in at $99 if you bought the thing with a 2-year contract.)

Meanwhile, manifold bloggers have whipped themselves into a frenzy over a succour Droid smartphone, which is being manufactured by the Taiwan van HTC. The Droid Eris, which will besides be sold by Verizon, bequeath reportedly accomplish a price tag of $100, less than half the emolument of the Motorola Droid, and right in biz with the BGM estimate on a cheaper iPhone.

Among the one's thing on the HTC Droid Eris are a Qualcomm MSM 7600 528MHz processor, a 5.0 megapixel auto spotlight camera, further a 3.2 inch 320×480 HVGA capacitive modify screen.
