Rumoured Motorola Xoom 2

The virtual world is going crazy as pictures of a woman holding a tablet are being shows as the Xoom 2. It all started by an ad for Verizon where you can visualize a tablet that looks like the Xoom, but only sports a Verizon logo. But what has the whole world wide web going crazy is the fact that there seems to be nothing new about it! The color is basically the same, the way that it’s outlined; along with the speaker everything seems to be exactly the same.

Perhaps Motorola should wait a little bit before they launch the new Xoom. That’s what has all Xoom’s fans going crazy; they are really hoping and praying that this is not the second release of Xoom, or at least, not just yet. +Continue Reading

Motorola Photon 4G will make companies become jealous

Motorola Photon 4GResearch in Motion (RIM) creator of BlackBerry is receiving hard hits from Motorola, especially since their partnership with Nextel from Sprint. Just few days ago, on June 9, Motorola made the announcement of their brand-new Photon 4G. The Photon is a sophisticated smartphone that runs on Android and features innovative security options, which would make it a perfect contender to bring BlackBerry down.

Motorola stated that they are presenting customers with more options, and that the Photon comes with VPN support and security features such as remote wipe.

The reason why RIM has been so successful is due to their superb mobile e- mail service, and the lack of competitors in that area. Most customers have been relying on BlackBerry phones for e-mail matters. However, they have been stayed up to date when it comes to other types of features and novel gadgets. This has been evidenced by the market results of the last quarters. As a matter of fact, they were placed third in a report published by ComScore. +Continue Reading

With these entire multifunctional buttons placed at the bottom, the rest of the screen is dedicated for applications. “It’s not just a ware house full of apps” says Hugo Barra, director of PM in Android, “it’s an application development platform in itself.” +Continue Reading

Motorola Droid Bionic will be capable of 2 Ghz processing power

Motorola Droid BionicFACT: If Motorola could have released DROID BIONIC in the first quarter of 2011, it would have been a big hit. But this gadget is more a thing of hide-and-seek than a phone ready for held. After an announcement in January 5th at CES 2011, it appeared for a very short time in Amazon before vanishing off of the booth in January 31st, with a heavenly price tag of $150. However, this device indeed has what it takes to be the smartest handset.

Motorola DROID BIONIC handles all computing with a memory of 512 RAM and a double core processor which produces a total processing power of 2 GHz. Such great power and speed are capable of delivering quality experiences in mobile Internet, multimedia, multiplayer gaming, and corporate productivity. The most compelling feature is indeed the phone’s capability to deliver the new 4G LTE technology. 4G LTE technology, which is Verizon Wireless’ newest data service for the US, makes it possible for the user to experience mobile Internet with a speed of up to 10 times faster than the now popular 3G. +Continue Reading

It is powered by a dual core processor which provides 1GHz processing power at each core and is supported by 1GB of RAM enough to run anything a tablet should be able to do it very smoothly. +Continue Reading

Can Motorola ATRIX 4G be the future of Mobile Computing?

Motorola Atrix Laptop DockMotorola ATRIX 4G was displayed on 5 January by Motorola Mobility and AT&T at an event hosted at CES 2011. This device will be undervalued if you call it a smartphone only because the power it will bring to your pocket is equal to many home desktop PCs used till now. It comes with a dual core processor where both cores are delivering 1 GHz and together they will give you 2 GHz of processing power. If you want to call it a smartphone do not forget to add “world’s most powerful” before that.

Today the users expect from a smartphone the same thing they expect from a PC as these two devices are doing each other’s job so smoothly. The problem is that till now the processing power has remained a barrier between smartphone and a computer.  +Continue Reading
