Two new Droid commercials just uploaded to YouTube show off the futuristic capabilities of a couple brilliant applications.
Runstar is the star of “Dust,” a spot that shows how Droid owners can track their fitness routines and share their stats over social networks. And the stunning augmented reality application Layar is highlighted in “No View,” which details how AR can be used as a kind of enhanced window into the world around you.
Runstar isn’t available in Apple’s App Store, but similar iPhone-friendly applications do exist. And of course, Layar is in the iPhone’s app store, as well, making this commercial more of a “me, too” spot than touting Droid’s advantages over it’s Apple counterpart.
And of course, the spots feature the familiar, friendly robotic arms that manipulate the touchscreen interface.
Let me know what you think: Do Android apps stand up strongly enough when compared to iPhone apps, and do they withstand that comparison well enough to be a cornerstone of Verizon’s marketing campaign for the Droid?
