Any other week, the announcement of Netflix coming to PS3 would be big news, but it has been overshadowed by the inundation of activity in the mobile world.

Palm has announced that the Pixi will be launching next month for $99. While this is a reasonable price, it is going to be a hard sell against the $99 iPhone 3G, and the guys say as much.

Motorola’s DROID, available from Verizon on November 6th for $199, has made huge waves in the mobile world. With its high-res display, Android 2.0 OS and Google’s recently deployed turn-by-turn navigation, the iPhone may just have its first real competitor. There is a lot of innovation here and it is nice to have a product, other than Apple’s offerings, driving forward movement in the mobile sector. Peter and Ryan are reasonably excited and offer a lot of hands-on impressions here.

HTC is also offering a cheaper take on the DROID with the Eris. The guys also discuss the almost instantly undesirable Motorola CLIQ before touching on the Samsung Moment.

Yeah, the PS3 is getting Netflix and the Palm Pixi is launching next month for $99, but this week we’ve got a boatload of Android stories, ranging from the announcement of Android 2.0 (aka Eclair), turn-by-turn GPS nav, and the first device to run it: the Motorola DROID. We’ve also got the scoop on the $99 HTC Eris, as well as hands-ons with the Motorola CLIQ and Samsung Moment. In other words, if you’re into Android, this week’s show is definitely for you.
