Will the Bionic allow user to multi-task the way the Iphone does?
Will user be able to talk and surf at the same time?
Galaxy S 2 is a whole other beast. Times have changed. Samsung has made inroads on the Dev scene and their offering to CM a while back (free dev phone) has put them on the map. Look at the support the GS2 is getting and multiply that by a release across carriers here in the US. Thats huge. You can bet the boys over at CM and others will be having a field day with this unit. It will be open season on it. It's simple logic.The dev scene for the fascinate was completly miniscule the fact that the phone was sold all over the world didn't seem to help at all, how is this going to be different?

Bionic will have it's support as well no doubt. But it's going to be seriously lagging behind the other devices. This will be the price you pay for buying a locked down device. If you don't care about "hacking" you will be fine but if you do, you may want to think twice about buying the Bionic.

This seemed pretty relevant. Could this mean that the bionic could be coming sooner than september?
I personally believe that any handset of theirs thats running Blur/their proprietary files will NEVER be unlocked by them. They may release a Vanilla device( ICS ) in the future and open it up but I cannot ever see them allowing full access to their handsets as long as it's running their UI.Why the assumption that the Bionic will be locked down? Moto made the announcement that beginning late 2011 phones will be unlocked, and the Targa was originally scheduled for late 2011. It may have been the plan all along that the Targa would be the first unlocked phone.

I wouldn't say i'm new to Android. I was one of the first to buy the original Droid the first day it came out 2 years ago. I just don't understand why the iOS has limitations to multi-tasking. What is preventing Android phones from multi-tasking the way the iPhone does?
My Droid cannot surf the web while talking on the phone...:-[
You have a lot to learn.
Multi-tasking is completely different from surfing the web while talking on the phone.
Presently, 3G phones on Verizon's CDMA network, are unable to talk and surf at the same time due to NETWORK limitations. It has absolutely nothing to do with the multi-tasking ability of Motorola phones or phones running Android.
As stated previously, Verizon LTE phones will allow for talking and surfing over LTE and Wifi.
Android allows true multi-tasking, iPhone does not, this is one of the ways they achieve smooth performance.

It's actually not even a network limitation anymore. It's a hardware limitation. Verizon's network can support SVDO now, but it has to be built into the phone. This is why the Thunderbolt can surf while you're talking even when 4G isn't available. It's the only phone on Verizon capable of it.

That twitter page looks really sketchy. There are typos everywhere (punctuation, mostly) and there's no real verification that it is a Motorola controlled twitter account. I want to believe, but I can't.@DroidBionic tweeted in the early morning hours, "The Droid Bionic is coming very soon. I know we've been saying that but it's here." Where, I don't know...not on Verizon's website for order!
Then hopefully the Droid Bionic will have that neat little feature too . Especially since we don't get 4G here in Santa Barbara until late Fall or so.
