The inventor of the cell phone is a fellow Android

Martin Cooper, the undisputed inventor and king of the cell phone has been sporting one of the newest Android phones on the market, the Moto DROID. I want to say that it’s because he loves the idea of an open, free operating system, and the he is a Google Android fanboy at heart but it just comes down to him wanting to use and test the latest phones on the market.
Cooper did admit on C-SPAN that the reason he is carrying the DROID is that he wants to get some experience with the Android OS and “so far he has some favorable results.” I sort of wonder why he hasn’t taken the Nexus One plunge? I mean if he wants the latest/greatest Android Experience then he might want the latest/greatest Android phone. Then again he would have to change phones every other month to keep up.
I think that it’s cool that Cooper ditched his iPhone (er.. gave it to his grandson) to give Android a go. I think that we are starting to see a shift in device adoption with Android gaining steam fast. If Android is good enough for the inventor of the cell phone, it is definitely good enough for this geek.

I saw a question from one "Martin Cooper" about my Android application (Screebl Pro), which is distributed on the Android Market, so perhaps he's downloading and playing with apps too.
I don't know about 'undisputed': on a quick check, I see 8 people from his research team sharing the patent. He's certainly the face of the invention, though.
why not the nexus one… well some of us still find the need for a real physical keyboard.
I love my nexus one, but sometimes I really wish I had a keyboard…
I love my android. I got to run all the applications I want without any problem.
Yea there was definitely others involved in the inventing of the cell phone. LOL. I love the drama between the iPhone and Droid, it never ends.
