The other belief for the speedy release is that November will be the two-year anniversary of the launch of the Motorola Droid, a phone widely believed to fully make Android a mobile powerhouse.

Skype released a new version of their Skype for Android app that opens up support for 17 new devices.

Note that you must be running Android 2.2 (Froyo) or higher to enable the update.
Unsupported devices running Froyo could still run the update but quality might be slightly downgraded. Launch the updated app, hit “Skype Settings” and then tick “Enable Video Calling”. If you don’t see that option, then you’re out of luck this time. Froyo users will be able to use the rear facing camera only to chat but Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) will allow access to the front facing camera.

The manufacturer claims the phone will be the thinnest QWERTY capable phone and even includes a front facing camera for chatting and photos.
Motorola has built the Droid 3 with personal and business customers in mind with the bells and whistles that casual users want but also including professional services as well. GOTO Meeting, Citrix Receiver, QuickOffice, and more will allow the power user to keep up with the fast paced demands of corporate life without being stuck in an office. The Droid 3 will be a 3G phone, not LTE though. You can buy the phone online now or in store around July 14th. Hit the jump to see the full press release and peep some more pics of the beauty.
