I'm a huge Android fan and also the founder of the DroidLessons website. I started obsessing about the Android platform as soon as I got my HTC EVO phone in mid-2010. Ever since then, I have been obsessed with learning all that I can about the Android OS and sharing that knowledge with my friends and family.

A Motorola Droid includes an 8-megapixel digital camera that's suitable for taking detailed photos of business inventories or company events. By default, photos are saved to the Droid's 16GB internal memory, but it supports microSD memory cards up to 32GB in size. The Droid's USB connection cable transfers these photos to your computer using Windows 7's drag-and-drop function. An installed microSD card also will be recognized by the USB connection, but it appears as a separate drive from the Droid's internal memory.
