Verizon Wireless will launch the Motorola Devour Android-powered handset. Too bad, Verizon hasn’t confirmed a price yet, but we’re assuming that the Devour will be cheaper than the Droid because it has a smaller screen and a slower processor. The Motorola Devour features a touch-sensitive navigation pad, a 3.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, several pre-loaded applications (Gmail, Google Talk, YouTube, Google Search and Google Maps), a pre-installed 8GB microSD card, and Bluetooth.
