You might have noticed some interesting commercials while you were watching football this weekend, Pittsburghers.
Verizon has launched an ad campaign for the new Motorola Droid phone that takes a direct shot at the iPhone and its shortfalls. The campaign, known as "Droid Does," directly addresses the problems with the iPhone's camera, lack of keyboard and replaceable battery, and its inability to run simultaneous apps.
The ad, which has been going viral on the web, begins with a series of "iDon't" statements in a font similar to that from the iPhone commercials. It ends with the phrase "Everything iDon't" then flashes to a "Droid Does" logo.
The campaign's website features a counter that points to a release date of October 30th, according to The Boy Genius Report. This release date could post some competition for the iPhone this holiday season and could even be a possible iPhone killer.
The Motorola Droid will more than likely feature a 5-megapixel camera with a flash, run Google Android 2.0, support multi-tasking, and include both a physical keyboard and touch screen.
