Motorola Droid: hands-free GPS features in first Google Android 2.0 phone

Chris Keall | Saturday October 31, 2009 | 19 comments

The first cellphone based on version 2.0 of Google’s Android operating system, the Motorola Droid, has been released in the US, to rave reviews.

A signature feature of Android 2.0 is a new version of Google Maps with voice-enabled turn-by-turn directions - something that would be apprecated here come Sunday, when the new cellphone law kicks in.

Motorola builds on this feature by supplying an optional car mount kit, which allows the Droid to sit on your dashboard like a conventional GPS unit.
