The Bionic is the first Verizon 4G LTE smartphone to feature Google's latest OS, Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread. That means the Droid Bionic provides out-of-the box support for video calling over 4G, 3G and Wi-Fi in Google Talk. The Bionic also features printing over Wi-Fi with MotoPrint and a new service from Motorola called ZumoCast that allows you to access multimedia documents and other files from your home or office computer for free.

As far as Motorola's software customizations, there isn't very much that I haven't seen before. Something that that feels different, though, is how well the software works on the Bionic. The phone doesn't stutter and software doesn't hang; it seems like Motorola has finally started melding its hardware and software together almost seamlessly.
