A beatdown is about to go down in Silicon Valley, and Apple is just about to get crushed.

Steve Jobs’ reign of terror and selling customers their own socks is just about to come to a screeching halt. The previous two iterations of the iPhone have been utterly disappointing, with Apple adding slightly more battery life, faster processors, better cameras, and a higher resolution screen. That is it. Nothing I would consider magical, however just enough to get Apple fanboys off the computer and into a long line only to find out the cellular phone they required to survive was totally under produced. The biggest features of the iPhone 4 — multitasking and adding backgrounds, things Google had integrated into Android from day one. So, if you are looking for something genuinely magical this cell phone season, you better take the Droid X for a test drive. The price is also just right for the Droid X, coming in at $199, which leaves enough room to purchase Motorola Droid X accessories.

Droid X, the brainchild of Google, verizon, adobe and motorola is what the iPhone 4 ought to be And, thanks to Steve Jobs’ refusal to cooperate nicely with other businesses (eg, barring Adobe Flash, and refusing to build a Verizon-compatible iPhone), the Motorola Droid X is probably just the ticket Google has been wanting for to eat into Apple’s healthy share of the smartphone market. In a report available by market research firm comScore in April, Google went from owning 3.8% of the cellular phone market in November 2009 to owning a cool 9% of the cell phone market in February 2010. Apple, on the other hand, controlled a little higher than 25% of the handset market in that same time frame. Here’s where the Motorola Droid X comes in.

The Motorola Droid X features an 8-megapixel camera, Adobe Flash compatibility (a VERY big deal), a Wi-Fi hotspot that connects up to 5 devices, Swype compatibility (a clever keyboard program that’ll make poking a digital keyboard a less stressful experience), and an HDMI output. Also, the Droid X will feature a spectacular 4.3in LCD screen, which you will probably want to protect it with a Droid X screen protector. Finally this is an absolute iPhone killer, and if Google can boost on nearly 5% more marketshare in 3 months without a product leading the charge, I have to imagine that the Droid X can lift Google’s ownership of the cell phone market to a realistic fifteen-percent by the end of 2010, potentially swiping some marketshare away from Apple.

And one of the biggest selling points as we enter the next era of mobile phones — the price. Thanks to Verizon, the Droid X will have a $30 infinite data plan, unlike AT&T, which recently announced it will start slapping some serious price penalties on new smartphone users who use more 2 gigabytes of data per month. For those of you with an iPhone, that’s not projected to be a whole lot of Netflix movies when you leave the friendly confines of your Wi-Fi.
