April 29 is the day when Verizon customers will be able to purchase a new, high-end mobile phone on their carrier's airwaves, the DROID Incredible by HTC. Added to the wireless operator's lineup of Android-based DROID handsets, the new device is expected to prove a great option for those interested in enjoying great mobile features on their phone, as it comes with a fast processor, enhanced touchscreen capabilities and a large amount of internal memory. However, it seems that there are some issues with the device, and those willing to purchase it should be aware of them.

Some of the applications available for download and purchase from the Android market won't work as expected on the HTC Incredible, some of the latest reports around the Internet suggest. Although the handset includes 8GB of internal memory, these apps require a microSD memory card to run properly, and Verizon decided to include a free 2GB microSD card in the package, so as to solve this issue. Of course, 2GB is not a great amount of space, but the card should do the job just fine.

According to Android Authority, which brought to light some nice photos with the Incredible, some of which can be seen attached to this article, the built-in apps on the phone already take advantage of the internal memory, yet there are a wide range of other software solutions which need a memory card to install and run. For what it's worth, developers might update their apps so as to make them compatible with the handset's internal memory too, but there is always the option of using a microSD card like the one included by Verizon in the package, so as to make them work.

In related news, we learn that the DROID Incredible comes to the market with an enhanced touchscreen display. It and the Sprint-bound HTC EVO 4G include an Atmel maXTouch sensor that boasts unlimited touch support. Basically, this means that the handsets won't be hit by touch issues as those spotted on Nexus One by HTC, which was launched with Synaptics' ClearPad 2000 sensor, designed only for simple two-finger gestures. A quick look at the video published by Android Central will show you how multi-touch works on the Incredible.
