The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
The website repeats the "iDon't" litany and then lists the features of the Droid: multitasking, high speed, hi-res, 5 megapixels, Android 2.0, notification panel, video, tunes, 10,000+ apps, the network, speech recognition, and directions.
Several of those features the iPhone has as well, but at this point in the message the focus is on what the Droid can do, not on what the iPhone can't.
The site also features a countdown clock with digital representations of numbers which, when decoded, show that the countdown ends on October 30.
Gadget blog The Boy Genius Report, which has been reporting on advance rumors of the Droid since early October, has an early and enthusiastic hands-on take up already. According to the blog, Google (maker of Android, of course) had a "direct hand" in the development of the smartphone.
The device itself is only half the battle, of course. Where the Droid might really have an advantage over the iPhone is the fact that it offers an alternative to the much-complained-about AT&T network that the iPhone depends on.
