Attention, BlackBerry owners. Motorola's new Android 2.2-based Droid Pro, announced Tuesday, is optimized for business use, including the ability to have voice service in more than 220 countries and data service in more than 200.
The device is also focused on productivity tools for business with corporate connectivity, security, full push corporate e-mail, a unified calendar offering work features, and the Quickoffice Mobile suite. Users can view, edit and share documents such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Built-In Security Features
Mike Lanman, president of the enterprise and government market for Verizon Wireless, which will offer the Droid Pro, said the smartphone "combines the feature-packed, high-level user experience that customers look for in an Android smartphone," as well as the security and reliability that businesses require. The Pro features a 3.1-inch display, a one-gigahertz processor , 4GB of memory -- two internal, two removable -- and a QWERTY keyboard. There is support for both Exchange e-mail and Gmail, a corporate directory lookup, and Flash Player 10.1. The new device can also provide a 3G mobile hot spot to as many as five other Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
Built-in security features include AuthenTec IPSec multi-headed VPN integration , remote wiping if needed, and support for complex passwords. Encryption for the Pro and the SD card is expected to be available early next year.
There's also a five-megapixel camera with autofocus, dual LED flash, and what Motorola calls "DVD-quality video ." Pricing will be announced closer to launch, which is expected in a few weeks.
