Droid Pro coming to Verizon for $299

By Jeffrey Van Camp Published October 25, 2010

Motorola can’t get enough of its Droids. The hardware manufacturer has seen a lot of success with its original Droid handset, as well as the Droid X and Droid 2–perhaps more than any of its handsets since the popular Razr line some years back. According to a screenshot posted by Droid Life, Motorola is releasing a new device called the Droid Pro on Nov. 11 for $299 with a two-year contract. This puts it at $100 more than any other Android device.

The Droid Pro is a candy bar device with a fixed keyboard, similar to a BlackBerry. Motorola hopes to attract some of the business users RIM is serving. Other business features include VPN and the ability to remotely “wipe” the device.

Apple Maps will now help you dine at the finest with a side of golfing

Details of a Michelin star food outlet in Apple Maps.

If you’ve ever felt like dining at only the crème de la crème of food establishments in your neighborhood, Apple Maps just built the right system for you. And to go with it, if you’re in the mood for some calorie burnout through golf, the service got you covered on that front, too.

Apple has inked a deal with MICHELIN Guide and The Infatuation that will let users find and get insights about Michelin-starred restaurants on the mapping and navigation platform. “Users can now view and search for MICHELIN-starred, Green Star, and Bib Gourmand restaurants — along with MICHELIN Key hotels — starting in the U.S,” says the company.
