Full FeedGet your Droid early tomorrow morning
If you are salivating over the thought of getting your hands on a Motorola Droid as soon as humanly possible, check the hours of your local Verizon Wireless Store. Over two thousand locations are opening their doors as early as 7 or 8 am tomorrow morning in anticipation of Droid’s release.
Not only are stores opening early, but many locations are holding all day long in store Droid events. During these events, Verizon Wireless employees will be on hand to demonstrate all of the features of the first phone running the Android 2.0 operating system. The Droid is really the first phone to call out the iPhone and has been running “iDon’t” ads targeted at Apple’s mobile.
Verizon subscribers that enter into a new contract can get the Droid for $199 after the $100 mail in rebate. You will receive the rebate by mail in the form of a debit card. Current subscribers can speak to a Verizon Wireless rep regarding costs for upgrading their phone.

Microsoft’s retail and online stores will be selling a line of signature PCs. When you usually buy a PC, you have to spend time removing all of the pre-installed applications on the computer.

With the Microsoft Signature PCs, you will only receive Microsoft brand software. The PCs will include the Microsoft Live mail client, Zune, Silverlight, 3D maps and MS Security Essentials. Internet Explorer will be the default browser and Bing will be the default search engine. Adobe Flash and Acrobat Reader will be included in the Signature PC package as well.

Market watchers expect huge boost in PC sales as a result of Windows 7
According to the Wall Street Journal, PC sales are expected to see a huge boost in numbers as a result of the October 22 release of Windows 7. Initial figures are showing that the operating system is performing better than expected and should lead to an upturn in PC sales throughout the year. Windows 7 has already generated an estimated $1.5 billion in pre-orders for Microsoft.
Analysts believe that the earnings from Windows 7 will extend beyond the consumer market and grow in the corporate world as well. Since little excitement was generated from Windows Vista, it is expected that many small to medium sized businesses will make the upgrade to 7. The timing of Windows 7 could not be better for the PC industry as well with the holidays just around the corner.
Although no official numbers have been release from Microsoft, reports surfaced last week that distributors could not keep up with the demand as stock dwindled from many retail locations.
