Motorola Droid Preview
We have our very own Motorola Droid handset here at BGR, and although the software isn’t final, it’s solid enough where we feel comfortable giving you a nice preview of the unit.
Jonathan S. Geller founded Boy Genius Report, now known as BGR, in 2006. It became the biggest mobile news destination in the world by the end of 2009, and BGR was acquired by leading digital media company PMC in April 2010.
Jonathan is President of BGR Media, LLC., and Editor-in-chief of the BGR website.
What started as a side project at the age of 16, quickly transpired into 24-hour days and nights of sharing exclusive and breaking news about the mobile communications industry. BGR now reaches up to 100 million readers a month through the website, syndication partners, and additional channels.
