08 Feb 10 My response to the Megan Fox Motoblur ad during the Super Bowl
I know that we already covered this, but we haven’t shared how this Motorola Devour with MOTOBLUR ad is really being perceived.
I mean, do we honestly think that Megan Fox sharing a picture of herself over the Internet would create this big of a stir? Honestly, aren’t there “hotter” things on the Internet?
Seriously, Miss Fox, you are not all that. However, the Motorola Devour could be. Now that is our focus.

According to our buds over at Engadget, there is a new update to Droid planned.
Apparently, it is based on Android 2.1, similar to the one on the Nexus One. It also is multitouch enabled, like Google Maps 3.4 and pre-installed Google Googles. So far, there is no word on when it will be out, but we shall see it.

08 Feb 10 Megan Fox Motorola DEVOUR Super Bowl Ad Spot
For the people who have been following the Super Bowl, you will agree that one of the things to look out for are the new commercials set to be shown. And for Motorola, contracting hottie Megan Fox to endorse their mobile handset, the Motorola DEVOUR with MOTOBLUR, should be one scintillating ad spots to remember.
The ad shows Megan Fox sending out a hot, wet image of herself via a social network. Let’s just hope that Megan Fox does not overshadow the purpose of the ad which is for the Motorola DEVOUR.

05 Feb 10 Google Maps gets multitouch on Droid
Previously, the Droid featured no multitouch capabilities in any of its applications. Said capabilities included the highly sought after pinch-t0-zoome feature. Well, it’s been recently discovered that Google has updated their Maps software to include multitocuh capabilities on the Droid.
Of course, the rest of the phone presumably still lacks multitouch but that will get addressed soon enough.

03 Feb 10 Motorola Zeppelin pictured running Android
Back in October of last year we showed you the back of the Motorola Zeppelin which was rumored to be appearing on Chinese carriers. Now, Gizmodo has gotten their hands on a surprsingly clear picture of the device clearly running Google’s mobile OS, Android.
There’s no word on pricing or availability but from the looks of it the Zeppelin may be marketed towards the budget conscious. I don’t know about you guys, but besides the fact that it’s running Android its overall design just screams dumb phone to me. No offense, Motorola.

03 Feb 10 Motorola Devour compared to Nexus One
We just showed you the Android touting Motorola Devour and already the online community has gotten their hands on one. Considering its one of the newest Android handsets to be announced it only makes sense to plop it next to the best Android powered device for a quick comparison. And that’s just what AndroidSPIN did.
As you can see, the Devour is quite a bit bigger than the Nexus One but features a much smaller screen. There’s not much more to be noted other than the fact that the Devour really shows you just how sleek and sexy the Nexus One really is.
Unfortunately there was still no word on the price of the Devour but we can’t see it costing more than the Droid.

03 Feb 10 Motorola Devour joins the Verizon Wireless Android family
Verizon Wireless has just announced its newest member of the mobile family with the Motorola Devour. While I would have chosen a better name for the Motorola Droid’s little brother, it does have some pretty cool features.
For example, it has Motoblur software which enables the user to “merge contact information from various accounts and social networking sites and stream content from sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace, through a Happenings widget on your home screen”. The Devour has a universal in-box for messages, and runs on Android 1.6. It also has an HTML browser, 3-megapixel camera, HTML web browser with Flash lite, and a preinstalled 8GB microSD card. It should be available in March, but no word on the price.

Some of you might remember a few weeks ago when we talked of rumors a Google Nexus Two. These rumors have now been confirmed as Motorola has officially said that they are working on a Google phone.

28 Jan 10 Motorola presents MOTOROI XT720 cellphone
Motorola has recently presented a very good cellphone in Korea, the MOTOROI XT720.
In terms of specifications the XT720 is very powerful like it can be proved by the 8-megapixel camera, or the support for microSD memory cards with 32GB, or even the 720p HD video recorder. As for the more normal features, it has a 3.7.inch WVGA display, an HDMI output and GPS capability.
Did I mention the T-DMB support for TV on the go? And did I forgot to say it runs the Android OS? Oh well, this sure looks like a good cellphone lets just hope the price is reasonable.

28 Jan 10 Some small profits and losses were made on Motorola’s Fourth Quarter
The fourth quarter profits are in for Motorola, and a small profit of $142 million was made. Granted, that might not seem small to you, but when you’re dealing with revenue of $5.723 billion, it isn’t all that good. Mobile Devices did $1.8 billion in sales, but lost $132 million. Home Networks and Mobility made $91 million on sales of $2 billion.
I suppose the down sales will lead to a few cents off a share, but we’ll see how they do in 2010.

27 Jan 10 Motorola Milestone A853 Pops Up
The Motorola Milesone A853 is coming to North America. At least that what appears to be on the rise as the Motorola A853 was spotted over at Bluetooth CIG.
The A853 features a quad band GSM and tri-band 850/1900/2100 3G connectivity. In fact, with the impending loss of exclusivity of AT&T over the iPhone, the coming of the Motorola Milestone A853 couldn’t have come at a better time.

27 Jan 10 MOTOBLUR on Super Bowl Sunday
We’ve already discussed how Motorola is planning a big Super Bowl ad, and we know a little more about it. Actually, what we know is pretty vague at best.
You can click here to see a sneak preview, which features nothing but a lady disrobing in order to get in the bath. It is not as provocative as you would think, and has nothing to do with “when the power of MOTOBLUR is unleashed”.
Motorola has also been throwing around these ads with Jim McMahon and Mike Ditka, and hinting that there is some sort of Super Bowl Shuffle reunion.
I suppose we’ll have to wait until February 7th to find out what is really going on.

26 Jan 10 Out for Google, In for Baidu
Due to the threat made by Google to exit the Chinese market, the buyers of Android smartphones can now pick if they want to use Google or Baidu as a search service. In case you don’t now, Baidu is the popular search engine in China.
Anyhow, this scenario is only possible with the Motorola android smartphones, and to make the Android experience even better there are plans to launch an app store in China before February 14.
China Telecom, comments:
By providing them a choice in their applications and services, Motorola is letting consumers in China customize the way they experience the power of the mobile Internet

26 Jan 10 The Moto Concept Phone
This is one concept phone from Motorola that sports a familiar mold. Taking the shape of the familiar Android character, the Moto Concept phone was originally released back in 2008. This was a brainchild of Joseph Liagn.
It features a small display and a bottom panel which can be inserted at its upper part. The keypad is made of suave which makes it an alternative navigational device as well. This looks more like a toy phone rather than one you would use regularly but then again, concept phones are always up for improvements somewhere along the way right?

25 Jan 10 Motorola MOTOSPLIT coming to AT&T in Q3?
Yes, this is a rendering, and yes, this shot is blurry, but this is usually what you will see when photos of cell phones under development mysteriously leak onto the Internet. In this case, the Motorola MOTOSPLIT.
As you can see, the MOTOSPLIT is named for its QWERTY keyboard that is split down the middle. I’m not certain whether that gives the user a faster ability to type text messages, but this phone is planned to be Snapdragon powered and comes with Android built-in.
According to my Source, this is coming to AT&T in Q3, but there is no word of a price or more exact date. I like the look of it, though. Hopefully we will report on it again when we get more information and a clearer photo.

24 Jan 10 T-Mobile could bring Motorola MOTOROI to the United States
We’ve already reported on the Motorola MOTOROI, the first Android-powered cellular phone for the Korean market. It would appear that T-Mobile wants to bring the mobile device to the United States.
We can only assume that it will have the same specs, such as Android 2.0, 3.7 inch WVGA screen, 8GB of storage, microSD slot, 8 megapixel camera, and 720p recording capability. It is also planned to have a T-DMB TV tuner for watching 24 of South Korea’s channels, but I suppose that will have to be altered for the States.
Well, we don’t have a price on this, but we can estimate that it will be out in March.
