My evil plan is coming together nicely!  Muwahahah.  Linux everywhere!  I went to Best Buy and preordered a Motorola Droid for the wife today.  She should be able to get it by November 6th on their launch date.  I couldn’t help but get caught by all the great reviews I was reading on it, and the fact that it’s very similar in features to the Nokia n900 I’m awaiting shipment of.

So that’ll make two new cell phones (or, er…pocket computer in my case) that are on their way both running Linux under the hood.  I love how this OS is permeating the market and no one even really knows it.  Tivo’s, Archos, Android handsets, Palm Pre, n900…it’s really all over and no one even knows it.  Dare I say that eventually the Microsoft Mobile OS’s, iPhone’s, and Symbian’s of the world will become the minority in the mobile handset world.  Linux will in one form or another dominate.  It’s inevitable.

Just when I thought the Nokia N900 was the uber-phone to beat all phones…Motorola releases something that should give it quite a good run for the money.  This thing looks sweet.  Even has a bigger screen and better resolution than the N900.  I honestly thought about canceling my pre-order for the N900 once I started reading more about the Droid, but I have a better plan.
