A beatdown is about to go down in Silicon Valley, and Apple is about to get crushed.

Steve Jobs’ reign of terror and selling customers their own socks is just about to come to a screeching halt. The previous two iterations of the iPhone has been massively disappointing, with Apple adding faster processories, better cameras, more battery life and a higher resolution screen. That’s it. Nothing I would consider magical, however just enough to get Apple fanboys off the computer and into a long line only to find out the mobile phone they required to survive was massively under produced. The biggest features of the iPhone 4 — multitasking and adding backgrounds, things Google had integrated into Android from the beginning. So, if you are shopping for something really magical this cell phone season, you shoud consider taking the Droid X for a test drive. The price is also just right for the Droid X, coming in at $199, which leaves enough room to purchase Droid X accessories.

Droid X, the innovation of Google, verizon, adobe and motorola is what the iPhone 4 could have been And, thanks to Steve Jobs’ refusal to cooperate nicely with other businesses (eg, barring Adobe Flash, and refusing to build a Verizon-compatible iPhone), the Droid X is probably just the ticket Google has been wanting for to eat into Apple’s healthy share of the smartphone market. In a report available by market research firm comScore in April, Google went from owning 3.8% of the mobile phone market in November 2009 to owning an impressive 9% of the mobile phone market in February 2010. Apple, however, controlled a little higher than 25 percent of the cellular phone market in that same time frame. Here’s where the Droid X comes in.

The Droid X features an 8-megapixel camera, Adobe Flash compatibility (a VERY big deal), a Wi-Fi hotspot that connects up to 5 devices, Swype compatibility (a nifty keyboard program that will make poking a digital keyboard a less stressful experience), and an HDMI output. Also, the Droid X will feature a impressive 4.3in LCD screen, which you’ll probably want to protect it with a Droid X screen protector. Definitely an absolute iPhone killer, and if Google can tack on nearly 5% more marketshare in 3 months without a product leading the charge, I have to imagine that the Droid X can lift Google’s ownership of the cell phone market to a realistic 15% by the end of 2010, possibly swiping some marketshare away from Apple.

And one of the biggest selling points as we go into the next era of wireless phones — the price. Thanks to Verizon, the Droid X will have a $30 unrestricted data plan, unlike AT&T, which recently announced it will start slapping some serious price penalties on new smartphone users who use more 2 gigabytes of data per month. For those of you with an iPhone, that’s not projected to be a whole lot of Netflix films when you leave the friendly confines of your Wi-Fi.

So, before blindly throwing any more money at Apple, check out the more geek-friendly and genuinely revolutionary The Motorola Droid X.
