It seems that Verizon wireless will not keep any stone unturned to outshine Apple’s formidable iPhone and emerge the winner in the high end smart phone battle. After unleashing an unprecedented iPhone bashing campaign with its whacky ‘Droid Does’ ad, Verizon is readying another device to augment android invasion in the cell phone market. While the Motorola Droid is being touted as the potential iPhone killer, Verizon is keen to offer the buyers with a tight budget another choice. That explains why it is going to launch the HTC Droid Eris almost simultaneously with the Motorola Droid.

It is Saturday again, time for the weekend mood to set in and to help you along the way we have this freshly baked Apple round-up just for you. Apple has had a great week. Things went uphill from the very start when they reported their (through the roof) Q3 earnings and then we had the roster of new Macs to savour.

The rest of the week has been pretty small compared to those two things but they have been large enough to carry us through the entire week. And make no mistakes, we will still be hearing about the new Macs two weeks down the line and may be more.

Get to the other side for your piece of this delicious pie.

Here at Otaku Gadgets, we are pretty grateful about the new trend in cell phones. With the iPhone and Android fighting it out and the others squatting on the sidelines, you have to admit that this is an interesting time to be using and buying cell phones in. However, in the face of all that improvement in the mobile OS arena, Microsoft is still lagging behind. If Steve Ballmer can publicly wish that they could skip 6.5 and go straight on to Windows Mobile 7, I think I am justified in saying that we feel something similar.

But that is only a passing thought before we dive in to the madness of it all. BlackBerry is struggling to catch up it seems and Palm is probably resting after the Pre and App Catalogue updates. Get to the other side for this week’s round up.

There was a time, not too long ago, when smartphones meant bulky phones with QWERTY keypads, clumsy UI, limited features and sky-high price tags. Not much has changed on the price tag side but the bulk is considerably lower now and the various UIs on the market are going from great to greater. Plus the features have pretty much hit the other side of limited in this category. So I thought it right to start a weekly section that cuts through all the noise and brings you the main stories that you need to hear.

We all are quite acquainted with the quality service that Verizon has been providing its customers, over the years. The service provider has since been introducing various cutting-edge and stunning devices one after another. The recent introduction of HTC Imagio thus adds another feather to its cap.

Verizon Wireless unveiled the HTC Imagio, which is the carrier’s one and only Windows Mobile 6.5 device and probably the first smart-phone which supports its V Cast Mobile TV Service. The launch took place today. According to the tech-supporters, the digital TV service comes through to Imagio via its prolific antenna. The newly launched device which at one point of time codenamed as the HTC Whitestone has aptly been labeled as a multimedia smart-phone. The seemingly lavish device can also operate with V Cast Video on Demand and V Cast Music, thereby providing an all-round-facility-service to its users. Surprisingly we haven’t seen any of these features being included in other smart-phones that had been launched by Verizon. For concentrating on business benefits could be one of the primary reasons for the service provider not including these services in its earlier smart-phones. Hence the newly launched HTC Imagio does provide a breathe of fresh air for the Verizon aficionados.
