Does Droid know a marketing tie-in when it sees it? Droid does. We’ve been speculating about what Motorola might do to take advantage of its licensing deal with LucasArts (who owns the trademark to “Droid”) since this time last year. The answer came in the form of the Droid R2-D2, a limited edition Star Wars-branded Droid 2 device.
The back of the Droid R2-D2 is designed to look like everyone’s favorite rolling trashcan. Inside you’ll find R2-D2 sound alerts and ring tons, Star Wars wallpaper, an exclusive Star Wars binocular app, and more.
Verizon this week announced that the device will go on sale September 30th on the provider’s site and select Verizon stores. The R2-D2 ships in a carbonite-esque box, with a Star Wars media dock and a wired stereo headset.
It runs $249 with a two-year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate.
