One Thing I noticed...

I'm not acusing of anyone doing it here, but I've heard/seen other people refer to any Android phone they see as the "Droids".

Lets clarify something:

The trademark "Droid" is used under liscence from Lucas Films, which means that it was adopted from R2D2 (look at his eye, folks). Verizon uses the prefix "Droid" to attach to every one of it's phones so that we can distinguish it from every other Android phone out there.

It's very similar to the same way T-Mobile uses the "myTouch" prefix before all it's phones. The myTouch Slide, the myTouch 3G, the myTouch 3G Fender edition.

All these phones have the operating system, Android invested in them but they are not in fact, "Droid" phones.

So if you ever meet anyone who's too ignorant to learn the difference, try to correct them. A kitten dies everytime someone gets it wrong.

I had to set my cousin straight on this very subject. Someone gave him a hero and he was trying to figure out the difference between a Droid, an android phone and a Google phone. O, and didn't enough kittens die with all the 2.1 threads over at androidforums?

People tend to think I'm too pretentious just "because" they're phones. And if you think that was bad, you should have seen the riot that people caused for the Droid to receive the 2.1 update on here.

It was terrible.
