Motorola ( NYSE: MOT ) is reportedly doing well with their Motorola Droid . Despite reports from some bitter bloggers about not finding any lines outside their local Verizon ( NYSE: VZ ) Wireless store on Droid launch-day , the latest word on the street has Motorola pushing some 100,000 Android-powered Motorola Droid phones into anxious customer hands over the weekend. The estimate comes from an analyst citing Verizon’s nationwide stock of 200,000 Motorola Droid, of which roughly half have already found new homes.

Some very interesting coverage maps have leaked out from Bell… They clearly show Bell’s new HSPA+ coverage areas in all of its ‘blue’ glory. While not really coast-to-coast (c’mon Bell, what about Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Northern Ontario, and the territories???), check out the dominance Bell appears to have over Rogers ( NYSE: RCI ). I’d love to attest to the fact that these maps are correct, and while I have little doubt that they are, I’d love to hear from folks in the areas shown here to confirm these claims.

Back in July of last year, we talked about Verve which at the moment got $3 million from Associated Press and other investors. Now we’re finally seeing some fruits of the co-operation as the two companies [Verve and AP] have unveiled an initiative to help publishers create white label, branded mobile apps for their content. The idea is to take a piece of the advertising being placed on other publisher’s apps in exchange for the application design.

Remember Pizza Hut’s cool iPhone app ? It proved as a smashing success, generating $1 million in sales! To be fair, we’re not sure whether the company would generate these figures even without the dedicated application, but it certainly helped make the famous pizza maker more cooler in eyes of the iGeeks. What’s more impressive is that the iPhone app has been introduced only three months ago and that’s in the U.S

RIM today announced at their BlackBerry Developers Conference in San Francisco that the BlackBerry ( NSDQ: RIMM ) OS will soon support OpenGL ES for 3D graphics acceleration. The arrival of 3D graphics support should finally bring the BlackBerry platform out of the dark ages, where BrickBreaker and other 2D games reigned supreme.

Video Preview: Need For Speed Shift shows what OpenGL ES graphics can do on a BlackBerry Storm2

Gaming on BlackBerry ( NSDQ: RIMM ) has never been what you would call breathtaking – a few low-key casual games here and there and the preloaded Brickbreaker could handle the lion’s share of twitchy boredom. Well, the platform is taking a big jump as OpenGL ES support has gone official and is currently available in the beta BlackBerry JDE we had mentioned earlier. The in-app purchacing sounded vaguely iPhone OS 3.0, and OpenGL even moreso, but between these multimedia improvements and BlackBerry’s existing expertise in productivity, the whole platform is feeling a lot more balanced

While Adobe might be taking potshots at Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL ) for not providing the footholds to get Flash on the iPhone, RIM has announced that upcoming versions of Creative Suite 5 will allow developers to import Flash content in a BlackBerry ( NSDQ: RIMM )-friendly format through the Eclipse JDE plug-in. So, yeah, Flash on BlackBerry. We had heard this was coming, and it’s great to see something good and official, though we’ll only really understand the scope of this announcement once we see developers do something with it (similar to the Google ( NSDQ: GOOG ) Gears and widget support in OS 5.0).

We’ve already had a chance to play with the HTC Droid Eris from Verizon ( NYSE: VZ ) Wireless, but there’s nothing like a retail package unboxing ceremony to really get up close and personal with a new handset. As the “ying” to the Motorola ( NYSE: MOT ) Droid’s “yang,” the HTC Droid Eris offers Verizon customers a fully capable Android smartphone at half the price of Moto’s headlining Droid , and it deserves some of our undivided attention

The Unboxing: Verizon’s HTC Droid Eris

Previously leaked image of a rumored 2.8-inch iPhone touch panel AT&T ( NYSE: T )’s iPhone exclusivity deal, by most accounts, will come to an end in mid-2010 .

In fact, according to a new report from OTR Global proves accurate, the iPhone might very well hit the Verizon Wireless network in the third quarter of 2010.

We do know Motorola ( NYSE: MOT ) and Google ( NSDQ: GOOG ) have worked together on the Droid, but still we haven’t thought we’ll see the search giant promoting the smartphone on its homepage, which is known for not carrying any ads at all. There are no doubts in my mind, Google bets heavily on Android and I’m guessing this is their way to show the true iPhone killer is now available, sporting the latest version of Google’s mobile OS – Android 2.0.
