Well, it really seems that Android's quite keen on taking on the BlackBerry, since Motorola, one of the most important manufacturers of smartphones running Google's mobile OS, has just released the DROID PRO model, that targets exactly the same market segment as BlackBerry smartphones, namely that of business users.
According to Motorola, the DROID PRO meets employers' and employees' needs by addressing the productivity tools businesses require, including corporate connectivity and security; full push corporate e-mail with corporate level security; unified calendar with additional work features; pre-loaded Quickoffice Mobile Suite,and a QWERTY keyboard designed for speed and convenience.
Given the sensitive nature of the data used by its future customers, the built-in security features embedded by Motorola are pretty impressive, including AuthenTec IPSec multi-headed VPN integration, remote wipe of device and SD card, and complex password support, with device and SD card encryption being slated to become available in early 2011.
Additionally, the device comes equipped with a 3.1-inch. TFT display (320 x 480 pixels resolution) and is powered by a 1GHz TI OMAP CPU, accompanied by 4 GB of memory (2 GB internal and 2 GB removable).
The device also packs a 5-megapixel camera with auto focus and dual LED flash as well as DVD-quality video, as well as 3G Mobile HotSpot capabilities, allowing customers to connect up to five other Wi-Fi-enabled devices and laptops.
"The DROID PRO is an advanced business-ready solution that provides users with the full smartphone experience, redefined by delivering the power of a DROID," said Sanjay Jha, chief executive officer of Motorola Mobility.
"The DROID PRO consolidates users' work and personal needs.
This is just another reason the DROID PRO is setting a new standard for enterprise, allowing users to enjoy all the benefits of a smartphone with full push delivery of corporate e-mail and corporate level security."
Motorola's DROID PRO Android smartphone will be available via Verizon in the following weeks, but pricing details and an exact release data have not been provided just yet.
