At a Glance

The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network provides speeds up to 10 times faster than Verizon Wireless' 3G network. With 4G LTE, you'll enjoy simultaneous voice and data capabilities, allowing you to check e-mail, browse the web, download an app, and check directions on Google Maps while on a call. Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network currently reaches one-third of all Americans, with plans to expand the network to the company's entire 3G coverage area over the next three years (learn more about 4G below).

In addition to high-speed 4G connectivity, you can also share the built-in Mobile Hotspot via Wi-Fi among up to five devices--laptop, another phone, MP3 player, and more (additional service charge).

Running the Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS (learn more below), it's powered by a 1 GHz dual-core processor and includes 1 GB of powerful PC-grade RAM, empowering you to browse, download, and multitask all at maximum speeds.

The DROID BIONIC features a brilliant 4.3-inch qHD display, which offers a rich 24-bit color depth and a 960 x 540-pixel resolution for extremely sharp images. And the screen is made of scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass with a glare-reducing coating. With the device's front-facing VGA camera and See What I See video feature, you can share experiences--either via Wi-Fi or 4G--with family, friends and co-workers. A rear-facing 8-megapixel camera also allows you to capture stunning still photos and full HD 1080p videos while on the go.

With 16 GB of onboard storage you'll be able to keep loads of photos and videos directly on the device--and you can use optional microSD memory cards up to 32 GB for even more storage potential. Other features include GPS for navigation and location-based services, Bluetooth for hands-free devices and stereo music streaming, and up to 10.8 hours of talk time.

PC Power from Your Smartphone

Create, edit, and interact with all your documents, media, and content using Motorola's webtop application when connected to one of three optional docks. The DROID BIONIC can be used to browse your favorite web sites with a full Firefox desktop browser, view social networking sites, and use HTML5 web-based applications and supported cloud computing services while running your Android applications in a window. And calls and text messages continue uninterrupted even if the DROID BIONIC is removed from the dock.

You can choose from the Webtop Adapter (most affordable, and best for light webtop use), the HD Station dock (good for webtop use plus multimedia playback), or the Lapdock--which provides an all-in-one webtop solution with built-in monitor, keyboard, and trackpad.

The optional Motorola HD Station dock enables you connect to a big screen (via HDMI port) as well as plug in peripherals such as a keyboard or a mouse via its USB ports for a PC-like experience while using the webtop application.

The Motorola Lapdock has an incredibly thin design with an 11.6-inch screen, full keyboard, and trackpad--plus a battery that delivers up to 8 hours of power. Simply dock your DROID BIONIC into the back of the Lapdock to turn it into an active, connected machine that's lighter and smaller than most laptops on the market.

BIONIC at Play

The DROID BIONIC's multiplayer gaming capabilities allow you to challenge friends to live peer-to-peer gaming, viewed through the device's 4.3-inch qHD quality screen that delivers console-quality graphics. The integrated HDMI connectivity also enables you to connect the device to your HDTV (or HDMI-compatible monitor) to experience your games, as well as purchased HD content in full 1080p (HDMI cable sold separately).

Android Gingerbread Operating System

The DROID BIONIC runs the Android 2.3 operating system (dubbed Gingerbread)--the fastest version of Android available for smartphones yet. It features a cleaner, more refined interface with new icons, improved top notification bar, and more intuitive navigation. Multitasking in Gingerbread allows you the ability to run more than one app at a time. If you're playing a game, you can easily switch to an incoming email and then switch back to the game without losing your place.

A new onscreen keyboard makes it easier to type thanks to additional spacing between the keys and larger font sizes. And the more you use the keyboard, the easier typing will be as the enhanced suggest feature records previous input history to make better suggestions.

The DROID BIONIC also brings one-touch access to the popular Google mobile services you use every day, including Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps with Navigation, Google Calendar, Picasa, and YouTube. It also provides easy access to both personal and corporate e-mail, calendars, and contacts supported by Exchange Server and Gmail. And through Android Market, you'll get access to thousands of useful applications, widgets, and fun games to download and install on your phone, with many more apps being added every day.

Verizon Wireless expects 4G LTE average data rates to be 5-12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2-5 Mbps on the uplink in real-world, loaded network environments.

With these blazing fast speeds, you'll be able to stream HD movies without the annoyance of constant pauses to buffer the video stream--as well as quickly download HD-quality movies right to your phone in minutes. Additionally, you'll be able to download a new song file in about 4 seconds or upload a photo to your favorite social networking site in about 6 seconds.

The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE mobile broadband network will also redefine the mobile office for business users.

Enhanced security lets you tap into most VPN networks with less waiting, and faster responsiveness enables you to upload 10 MB presentations back to your team in less than 25 seconds.

Ebook promotion on a budget means you can't afford to not to use the free and incredibly effective tools Amazon makes available for you to promote your ebook. So why is it most authors don't.

These tools are available -- for free -- to all of us who sell Kindle books but I read ebooks on my Kindle all the time that don't make use of these tools to promote the ebook. Even worse, some Kindle ebooks -- including those from major publishers-- are set up to work against their own promotion.

The result is that good authors are losing sales every day.

In-Book Promotion: Kindle Features to Increase Sales tells you how to make sure your Kindle ebook is still promoting you even after it's already sold.

The guide takes you through your ebook from virtual-cover to virtual-cover, delivering practical advice on how to ensure that your ebook is working to promote you. (Your writing is unaffected, this is about using tools to promote your book, not compromising your work.)

Make sure your ebook is the best promotional tool it could be with In-Book Promotion: Kindle Features to Increase sales.

In particular the book shows you:

  1. How to make sure your ebook persuades uncertain readers to hit the Buy button. You'll be amazed how many ebooks are arranged for the buyers and ignore the triers.
  2. How to direct your readers' to buy the ebook you want them to after they've read your ebook and without the reader searching back through the Amazon store.
  3. How authors are missing out on word-of-mouth promotion to thousands and thousands of readers. In fact some ebooks actively work against word of mouth recommendations.
  4. The number one ebook promotion tool on Amazon and how ebooks let their authors down in making it work for them.
These features for ebook promotion are simple to understand; easy to implement; and they're free. You just need to learn what tools for promotion are available; how they work; and how to use them in your own ebook promotion.

After you've set your ebook up properly for promotion with these tools, you don't need to do anything else with these features: they'll just carry on doing their share of your ebook promotion automatically and indefinitely.

This is short but powerful book. If you're a reader who judges the value of books by their weight or length, this isn't the book for you. If you're an author looking for powerful and easy-to-implement features that will boost your ebook sales, you'll love it.
