Verizon DROID XYBOARD 8.2 and 10.1 official

Posted on Dec 07, 2011 by MG1

Verizon has made the DROID XYBOARD Android tablets official, the 4G LTE versions of Motorola’s XOOM 2 and XOOM 2 Media Edition slates. The 10.1-inch and 8.2-inch tablets each have a 1280 x 800 IPS display, 5-megapixel main camera and 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, along with WiFi a/b/g/n and that all important EVDO Rev.A/LTE. An upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich is expected in the new year.
There’s also an infrared port, which – along with the Dijit app that comes preloaded – allows the two XYBOARD tablets to work as universal remote controls. Other connectivity includes HDMI, with an optional HD dock with an HDMI-through connection, and an HD station with connections for speakers and an ext...

White Motorola Droid RAZR for Verizon Wireless now official

White Motorola Droid RAZR for Verizon Wireless now official

Posted on Dec 07, 2011 by MG1

The Motorola Droid RAZR for Verizon Wireless is arguably one of the prettiest smartphones on the market right now. If it weren’t for the terrible AMOLED screen and the questionable battery life, then this writer would have a hard time resisting the urge to pick one up this holiday shopping season. So last month when rumors started floating around the internet that Verizon would be introducing a white variant of the Droid RAZR, you can understand that many Android fans started foaming from the mouth with anticipation. Well now it’s official, and … meh, it’s actually not what we were expecting. In fact, it shouldn’t even be called white. It’s basically the same black Droid RAZR we’ve already r...

Is this FCC filing for the Motorola DROID 4?

Is this FCC filing for the Motorola DROID 4?

Posted on Dec 06, 2011 by MG1

A new filing from Motorola has just passed through the FCC, but unfortunately there isn't enough identifiable information to pinpoint what device it is, although the smart money is on the DROID 4.
The FCC filing is for a Verizon device with a world-phone radio compatible with CDMA/LTE, GSM 850/1900, WCDMA and EDGE. Although, the filing notes that the GSM/EDGE/WCDMA options "have been disabled by firmware and are SIM locked for all US carriers", so this device is Verizon-only. As we said, there is nothing to confirm this as the DROID 4, but the information all fits.

Droid RAZRMAX rumored - may bring larger battery

Droid RAZRMAX rumored - may bring larger battery

Posted on Dec 05, 2011 by MG1

One of the caveats of having LTE in such a thin phone is battery life. Motorola may have caught on to that fact and may possibly be working on a refresh for the Motorola Droid RAZR called the Droid RAZRMAX.
The folks over at PocketNow discovered some interesting EXIF data embedded into some, otherwise uninteresting, photos. The data labels the device model that took the pictures as “DROID RAZRMAX-.” That model has not been spotted previously in EXIF data.
While that may not be very much evidence on its own, it is worth noting that a user over at Razr Forums reported being informed of that model by a Verizon employee. They said they were at a store looking at the RAZR and expressed some conce...

In The US, Xoom 2 Will Be Droid Xyboard

In The US, Xoom 2 Will Be Droid Xyboard

Posted on Dec 05, 2011 by MG1

Motorola is planning to nix the "Xoom" name for its next ambitious Android tablet project.
The company's newest Verizon-powered 4G LTE tablet will not be called the Xoom 2 as had been expected. Instead, the company came up with the name "Droid XyBoard."
There are a couple reasons why the name change makes sense. First of all, the Xoom hasn't made nearly the kind of splash Motorola and Verizon were expecting. Instead, it has just sort of fallen into the generic group of Android tablets.
Second, if there's one name in the Android universe that almost everyone knows, it's "Droid." We were frankly quite surprised when the original Xoom was announced and did not carry the Droid moniker, which is ...

Motorola Xoom update brings pay-as-you-go 4G LTE

Motorola Xoom update brings pay-as-you-go 4G LTE

Posted on Dec 05, 2011 by MG1

The Motorola Xoom on Verizon should be receiving a minor update which will be bringing a pay-as-you-go option for 4G LTE data.
According to CNET, the HLK75F update will give you a month-to-month option for 4G LTE data and I think this makes the Xoom much more appealing. While it’s a big old and still larger than the competition, having 4G LTE to use without having to sign a long-term contract is really cool. I could see multiple scenarios where I’d want mobile data on my tablet on a pay-as-you-go basis and this is how it works on rival Apple’s iPad.

Motorola Milestone 2 Gingerbread update starts rolling out today across Europe

Motorola Milestone 2 Gingerbread update starts rolling out today across Europe

Posted on Dec 02, 2011 by MG1

Motorola has started rolling out Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for its Milestone 2 smartphone in Europe. That, however, doesn’t mean you can get it right away; the new software will be released in stages so even if you can’t download it right now, check back again within few days.
The American handset maker turned to Facebook to spread the good news and we really applaud them for supporting their existing customers. Sure enough, they’re kinda late – but better late than never.

Leaked Verizon document hints at white Droid RAZR, leaves speculation to us

Leaked Verizon document hints at white Droid RAZR, leaves speculation to us

Posted on Nov 29, 2011 by MG1

Is there a white Droid RAZR looming on the horizon? According to the above screenshot, there is. Obtained by the folks over at Droid Life, this image purports to give a glimpse into Verizon's device management system, which apparently boasts a previously unmentioned white version of Motorola's ultra-thin handset. If it's legit, the RAZR would join the likes of the Droid 2 Global and R2D2 alongside the manufacturer's predominantly white offerings, though Motorola has yet to confirm its existence. Details, then, are still scarce, but we'll let you know as soon as we hear more about any alabaster arrivals.

DROID 4 accessories leaked: lapdocks, HD docks and wireless keyboard with trackpad

DROID 4 accessories leaked: lapdocks, HD docks and wireless keyboard with trackpad

Posted on Nov 29, 2011 by MG1

Well what do you know – Verizon Wirelessmay actually launch the DROID 4 on December 8th, as we reported before. Or at least the growing number of information we’re getting about the QWERTY keyboard Android smartphone suggests so.
The latest info we got about Moto’s upcoming device shows us compatible accessories. As you’re about to see, future DROID 4 owners we’ll be able to connect it to a LapDock, HD dock or wireless keyboard with trackpad. I can’t recall seeing such keyboard before and I’m pretty confident it will also be able to sing along other Motorola smartphones like the DROID RAZR, DROID Bionic and Photon 4G.

QWERTY-loving fans of the Droid series probably won't have to feel left out of the LTE party for much longer, as Droid-Life has uncovered some official-looking pictures and even a comparison chart of the upcoming Droid 4 and the rest of the line. The specs reveal it shares almost everything with the Droid RAZR, with the exceptions being a slightly smaller 4-inch qHD screen, ditching the Kevlar backing, and tossing in the aforementioned 5-row "edge-lit" keyboard. Hit the source link to view a more pics and the chart, which explains how we've gone from the Droid 2 last year, to the Droid 3 just a few months ago, to the Droid 4 / RAZR combo attack Motorola and Verizon could be unleashing as soo...

Droid 4 launch to coincide with Galaxy Nexus in US?

Droid 4 launch to coincide with Galaxy Nexus in US?

Posted on Nov 25, 2011 by MG1

Motorola's much anticipated Droid 4 is set to launch the same day as Samsung's Galaxy Nexus phone. A Verizon document points to a 8 December arrival for the new phone.
The launch date hasn't been totally confirmed for the new device and it is important to remember that the Galaxy Nexus isn't set in stone either.
More exciting however is the spec sheet listed on droid-life.com, which shows off what the Droid 4 is going to be capable. A 4 inch super AMOLED display, Razr looks and backlit 5 row keyboard are just the start of this feature packed handset. Moto has always performed with its Droid handsets and this Gingerbread powered release will likely be the same. The 1080p capable cam on the b...

Posted on Nov 21, 2011 by MG15

Motorola unveiled a new device for the Far East region, or so we think. The name of the phone is Motorola XT615 and it will first be available in Taiwan through Taiwan Mobile starting mid-December. We’re talking about a solid mid-range device with specs that include an 800MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, 4-inch FWVGA (854×480 pixels) touchscreen, 8-megapixel camera with flash on the back, VGA front-facing camera, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth 3.0, memory expansion slot, while Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the show. Size wise, the XT615 measures 117.7×60.5×9.85 mm and weighs 123.6 grams. It will be available for 10,900 Taiwanese dollars, which translates into about $360....

Motorola Mobility sued for allegedly stealing source code

Motorola Mobility sued for allegedly stealing source code

Posted on Nov 18, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: Motorola

Lemko Corporation, a private software and systems developer, on Wednesday filed a complaint against Motorola Mobility alleging that it stole trade secrets and is financially benefiting from the misappropriation of Lemko’s source code. The company claims that Motorola hired an engineer who developed unique, protected code while employed by Lemko, and proceeded to implement the source code on Motorola’s servers without licensing the technology. The code in question relates to server side network-based positioning technology. Read on for more.
“Lemko is committed to protecting itself against the theft of its software,” Lemko’s Raymond Minkus said in a statement. ”Lemko will vigorously defend it...

Motorola Mobility stockholders happy with Google merger, 9 out of 10 dentists agree

Motorola Mobility stockholders happy with Google merger, 9 out of 10 dentists agree

Posted on Nov 18, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: MotorolaGoogle

The people have spoken, and they're pleased. Said people, of course, are Motorola Mobility's shareholders, who have given a seal of overwhelming approval to the company's merger with Google. The company confirmed this sentiment in a statement issued yesterday, declaring that a full 99 percent of shareholders gave a thumbs up to Big G's acquisition at a recent meeting that comprised 74 percent of all outstanding shares. It's likely that much of this optimism was fueled by a rosier Q3 earnings report (not to mention the relatively favorable conditions upon which the acquisition was determined), but Googorola isn't entirely out of the woods, as the federal government must still give the deal it...
