Dialed In Podcast 103: Android highs and lows
The Android onslaught continues with the announcement of Sony Ericsson's Xperia X10 and the rumors of Verizon's HTC Droid Eris. Though we will get to see the Droid Eris in our hot little hands--and for the bargain price of $99--the X10 may never see life in North America. We're not thrilled that the Moto Droid skimped on the finger-pinching multitouch. Also in the podcast, Nicole talks rips on the Twitter Peek.

- Kent has knocked the Droid for a lack of physical buttons, and even in the review says, "I just prefer physical buttons." Just curious... where was that complaint on the iPhone review? Naturally, the answer is "oh, well that is different" Why? Because HTC put it on their phones? Why does Motorola have to live with decisions that HTC made? If it isn't an "issue" for the iPhone, it shouldn't be for the Droid.
