Motorola has already toyed with the idea of "these ARE the Droids you're looking for". It remains to be seen if they [will¦get to] use it, as Droid is a registered trademark of LucasArts.
Motorola cleared it with Lucasfilm Ltd [^]

Lucas just trademarked it as a wireless device; in the past they kept registering it as something different. This violates trademark law and very likely renders the trademark invalid. If pursued in court, Lucas would likely lose (especially since they don't, and never have, offered a product using the Droid trademark), but they'll probably sell it to Verizon and/or Motorola.

And the crystal ball says...... - Premium (Read: Expensive) ringtones! Chewbacca's roar, Vader's asthmatic breathing, or Jar-Jar's cheers* - Google Maps will randomly stop working, and instead the Droid will play Sir Alec Guinness saying "Use the Force!" - Inserting a pin or paperclip into a tiny hole on the top edge of the Droid, will cause the phone to explode spectacularly, including a completely out-of-place shock wave. - Google Translator will include text-to-speech, and read out badly-pronounced translations in C3PO's voice. - If you attempt to circumvent the software in any way, you will be electrocuted.** * Motorola and Lucas Arts cannot be held responsible for the beatings you will receive if the Jar-Jar cheer is heard in public. ** Third-party sources have leaked that throwing the Droid down an air shaft will disable this system.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in? Developer, Author (Guardians of Xen)

Along with this, from Android 2.0 onwards, Google Maps app will be a fully fledged SatNav application. Check out TomTom and Garmin's stock prices tumbling in reaction to this: Clickety[^]

imdb.com once referred to Bill Roache (Corrie's "Ken Barlow") as a droid. I let them know about their typo :)
