Is a Motorola Droid 2 Coming Soon?

What the heck, there seems to be a manual cover that has leaked, giving people the impression that the Motorola Droid 2 might be coming soon. I just payed pretty good money for a Droid 1 not too long ago, so I’m hoping that things on the market aren’t moving this fast. I think the original droid still has a lot of potential and they should continue to tap into that rather than put out more devices so soon.

From TFTS:

Whatever it is, it apparently turned up somewhere on the cover of a Verizon manual. The device looks pretty similar to the first Droid but it’s not quite like it. It has a large touchscreen display, Motorola’s and Verizon’s logos are in place but the physical buttons are way smaller. Does it also hide a slide-out horizontal full QWERTY keyboard?

I’ve Created My Own Email Mess, Now I Need To Like It

Over the last year or so I’ve put a huge focus on getting all my communications to go through email, such as:

  • Banking notifications and financial alerts
  • Web site status alerts
  • Client communications, as much as possible
  • Email alerts from project management software (BaseCamp in particular)
  • Event reminders
  • … and on and on

This is great, for the most part. I’m really on top of stuff – that is, when I can keep up with my email.

The one result of having every alert and communication funneling through my email is that I now have a ton of email to pay attention to on a daily basis. I’m starting to hate it, but I must keep focus on why this is a good thing.

I must remember that I’ve done all this and created this situation so that I am actually able to keep up on everything through a single communication medium – and it’s actually mostly working!

I can’t start to hate my friend “email”, because my friend “email” didn’t ask to be put into this situation. I asked “email” to do all this for me, and it’s doing it’s job well.

This goes right back to a Droid post that is coming shortly – regarding how that little device is turning out to be quite a useful tool for me, much more than any other cell phone I’ve had. A lot of the usefulness of the Droid comes from the fact that it allows me to manhandle my email to my hearts content.

Yeah! Now I gotta run so I can check my email!
