Motorola Droid to be unveiled officially on October 28th

I can't wait for this...finaly a good phone from Verizon. If it comes with the R2-D2, that would be cool too.

Does any one know if this is true that Lucas has the word Droid copyrighted ?

He does, though he rarely cracks down on other people using it, unless it is something crummy that he wants to prevent (the orriginal title for "Battletech" was "BattleDroids", George stopped this if only to delay production of this terrible program). It seems clear from the R2-D2 promotion that he (or at least Lucas Arts) are involved anyway, so not much fear of a lawsuit here.

I was wondering because I signed up for the email to receive updates about it when it becomes available and at the bottom of the email it says

DROID is a registered trademark of Lucasfilm Ltd. and its related companies. Used under license.

hahaha that was a pretty funny comercial it reminds me of the "sega does what nintendon't" comercials

Yeah, that was a great commercial...I was just reading some Asimov and I had a terrible thought: if apple ever made a Robot, it would be called the "iRobot".

Well.... This is amazing. The phone that can [maybe] beat iPhone on my carrier. I'm with Cricket, so it shouldn't take too long for the first few folks to figure out how to move this phone over. I'm even more hopeful that being a non-brew-dependant OS, I might actually be able to use the GPS functios(Sorely missing on my Cricket-hacked LG Dare).

I'll be watching this one closely, looks like an amazing piece of equipment!
