BASKING RIDGE, N.J., March 18 /PRNewswire/ -- This March, Verizon Wireless customers with DROID by Motorola smartphones can add something new and different to their day-to-day routine.  Whether customers are thawing out of winter in the Northeast, craving some fun in the sun, or looking for an Ethiopian restaurant in San Diego to stimulate their taste buds, Android Market™ provides access to thousands of applications allowing customers to stay in touch, up to date and entertained, all while running on the largest and most reliable wireless voice and 3G data network in the country.
