Google's Nexus 2?!? Already?!?

It seems that rumors of a sibling for the Google Nexus One, called Nexus Two, is more than likely to be the Motorola Shadow.

Last week, Motorola’s CEO had spilled the beans and confirmed that they were developing a new smartphone with Google. So it comes as no surprise that the Motorola Shadow, with its QWERTY keyboard and huge touchscreen, is the highly talked about Nexus Two.

Based on leaked images from a popular overseas forum, the Motorola Shadow is 9mm thick and equipped with a massive 4.3 inch touchscreen, with 750 x 484 pixels of hotness!!! The leaked images also show a HDMI port. BOOYA! Furthermore, sources speculate that it will come with an 8MP camera with the ability for video recording in 1080p. THANK YOU JESUS!

A quick look at the image of the Motorola Shadow shows a sliding QWERTY keypad, wrist-strap nook and white based cladding with touches of red trimming.

The operating system chosen is still not confirmed, but being the Google Nexus Two we would assume Android 2.1, and not Froyo as it is being suggested on a few forums. DUH!

Expect the Google Nexus Two, aka Motorola Shadow release date to be slated for March. And for those readers who are planning to browse the web for more information on the Shadow, I suggest you also try looking for it by its other name, the Motorola Mirage.

AT&T Announces Availability of First Device on Android Platform with Motorola

HSPA 7.2 – Capable Motorola BACKFLIP Coming Soon to AT&T Stores Nationwide

Reserve Yours Today!

MOTOBLUR offers AT&T customers a new way to connect to their favorite people, content and applications, whether it’s work or personal email, messaging or social networking. Motorola’s exclusive Android™ experience syncs contacts, posts, messages, photos and much more — from sources such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Gmail, Picasa, work and personal e-mail, and Last.fm — and automatically delivers them to live widgets for immediate reply, right from the home screen. And, for customers who prefer multi-tasking, AT&T’s 3G network offers the added advantage of talking and surfing the Web and accessing applications at the same time.

BACKFLIP features a unique form-factor with an original reverse flip design, spacious keyboard and BACKTRACK™ touch panel, allowing the display to be hands-free while one’s fingers work behind the screen. BACKFLIP runs on the nation’s fastest 3G network and is powered by MOTOBLUR™, Motorola’s Android-powered content delivery service created to make phones more personal and socially smart. Customers can see photos and learn more at www.att.com/backflip.

“Motorola BACKFLIP brings together the best of social networking with the nation’s fastest 3G network,” said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. “With the ability to ride on our newest and fastest 3G network, access to more than 20,000 AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots, and the ability to talk and surf at the same time, BACKFLIP boasts a better Android experience.”

MOTOBLUR™
MOTOBLUR keeps track of contacts so it’s easy to keep up. Users can flip through messages and updates on the BACKFLIP and respond in a flash, without having to log in and out of applications. MOTOBLUR helps consumers keep a pulse on what’s happening on their social and news networks. Only MOTOBLUR can sync Facebook, MySpace and Twitter with phone book and email contacts, while threading status updates and profile pics through calls, messages and address book. From the home screen, consumers can update their status to Facebook, MySpace and Twitter at once.

Finally, MOTOBLUR provides users with simplicity and peace of mind, as lost devices can be located from a secure personal information portal and GPS can be used to locate them. One user name and password brings back a user’s contacts, messages and connectivity to previously configured networks and email providers.

”Motorola is proud to bring the first Android-powered device to AT&T’s 3G network,” said Mark Shockley, senior vice president, Motorola Mobile Devices. “AT&T customers will love the social media advantages MOTOBLUR offers as well as the innovative hardware design.”

BACKFLIP is the first Motorola device to feature the new and unique BACKTRACK™ feature which gives AT&T customers the ability to navigate quickly and easily through Web sites, menus and more with a touch panel located behind the screen when the device is folded open. BACKTRACK offers a new way to scroll through the Web, texts, e-mails and news feeds without obscuring the home screen. Flip the keyboard backwards into table-top mode to listen to music, watch videos, view pictures with the digital picture frame or to turn BACKFLIP into a digital, bedside alarm clock.

BACKFLIP comes with a full HTML browser that can be viewed on the 3.1” high-res, touch screen display and makes use of 7.2 HSPA 3G technology on the nation’s fastest 3G network. Android Market™ has access to more than 20,000 apps and widgets, in order to customize the device to fit each consumer’s personal style. Customers can easily shoot photos and video with the BACKFLIP’s 5 MP camera and flash, and upload them to their favorite photo sharing or social media site.

The Antichrist (with bible verses)

The Antichrist (with bible verses) Matthew 24:3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" Jesus answered: "Watch out that noone deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. Matthew 24:23 And if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect-if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. Luke 21:27 Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. Matthew 24:3, Matthew 24:23, Matthew 24:26, Luke 21:7, Luke 21:24, Mark 13:21, 1 John 2:18, 1 John 2:22, 1 John 2:26, 1 John 4:1, Matthew 7:15, 2 Corinthian 11:4, 2 Corinthians 11:13, Galatians 2:4, 2 Thessalonian 2:1, Revelation 13:1

Will a Cloud-Based Android Interface Fragment the Platform?

HipLogic today launched  an Android (s goog) platform that makes it easy for handset OEMs and carriers to produce custom interfaces for their phones. Fremont, Calif.-based HipLogic’s interface is always connected to the cloud, meaning operators can change the Android home screen interface whenever desired. Updates are delivered to the customer’s phone over the air, courtesy of the “always connected” nature of the HipLogic interface.

Companies are always happy to differentiate their products when using an open platform such as Android, but there is a risk such a move can further fragment the Android user experience. We already see this happening on HTC phones with its Sense interface, and the MOTOBLUR interface by Motorola (s mot) dilutes the Android experience in a way, too. It’s not necessarily a bad thing that many Android phones have different interface features, but it makes it harder for consumers to determine which interface components are standard and which are special to a given handset.

Mediatek turns to Google's Android

“Android is a simple platform and we will develop lots of applications for our users,” said Yu Mingduo, CFO of Mediatek, Taiwan’s biggest semiconductor designer, adding that the company will offer its Android solution in mid 2010.

Although Mediatek and Microsoft will jointly release Windows Mobile 6.5, market feedback showed that the limited popularity of Mediatek’s Windows Mobile solution was worrying.

HTC, a major Windows Mobile-based cell phone manufacturer, became a stock leader in Taiwan thanks to the hot sales of Windows Mobile-based products. This was one major reason why Mediatek chose Windows Mobile platform. Meanwhile, Windows Mobile was much more mature compared with Google’s Android.

However, one year later, promoted by leading cell phone makers including Samsung, HTC, LG and Motorola, Android-based cell phone seems more like a pioneer.

“Motorola will release at least 20 Android-powered cell phones in 2010, and bring the price of Android devices to below 2,000 yuan (around 293 U.S. dollars),” said an official with Motorola China, adding that before Microsoft release its Windows Mobile 7, all the company’s mid-to-high end cell-phones will be Android-powered.

Currently, Android has over 20,000 apps. That figure was only a little higher than 10,000 last September, and has been growing at a speed of 4,000 per month.

Mediatek turned to Android not only because of customers’ preference, but because the company will be able to copy iPhone’s operation mode with the help of Android OS.

With Android, Mediatek can establish its online application store more easily, said Yu.

China is expected to have much more 3G users in 2010, and cell phones customized by telecom operators will enter the mainstream. China’s three mobile operators, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, have all okayed Android-powered cell phones.

Mediatek will employ 1,000 R&D staff in 2010, and most of them will focus on cell phones, said Yu.

Motorola: Droid update to Android 2.1 'will start to roll out this week'

 

We knew Android 2.1 was coming for the Droid, but we’ll confess — we didn’t expect it to come this soon. Motorola is now reporting via its official Facebook page that it’s "happy to relay the 2.1 upgrade to Droid will start to roll out this week," going on to tease that it "will have more information to share on other device upgrades later." There’s no detail on what the Droid update will entail or whether it’ll roll out to every user this week (we doubt it), but by all indications, this is a promising sign that Moto’s keeping the pedal to the metal, we’d say.

Motorola Devour with Motoblur finally official

Verizon announced today, the arrival of the first Motoblur device on their CDMA network. The Motorola Devour. The phone has a really futuristic design similar to that of the Droid but in a smaller, lighter colored, and to some, a sleeker design. The Devour is set to launch sometime next month with no mentioned price. With the Eris being $99.99 and the Droid being $199.99, my guess would be somewhere between $79.99 and $149.99. The devour looks nice but doesn’t pack quite the same punch as the Motorola Droid. The Devour is rumored to come with the Qualcomm MSM 7627 processor. This is the same processor found in the Palm Pixi and Palm Pixi Plus. The Droid has the OMAP 3 which is also found in the Pre. We have seen a significant difference in performance between Pre and Pixi, so it won’t be surprising to see the same thing here. Here are the specs and features coming on the Motorola Devour:

OS: Android 1.6 with Motoblur (Yes this may mean that the Cliq will get 1.6 soon)

A 3.1″ capacitive touch screen at 320×480 resolution. (Identical to the Pre and iPhone resolutions) No mention of multi-touch yet

Qualcomm MSM 7627 processor clocked at 600Mhz, 256MB of RAM, and a MicroSD slot with an 8GB MicroSD card

3MP camera with digital zoom (most likely 2x)

Side sliding 4 row qwerty keyboard

Optical track pad on the front left corner for navigation

2 microphones, 1 for talk and the other for noise cancellation

So there you have it. If you are a fan of Motoblur and you are on Verizon than the device you’ve been looking for seems to have arrived. This phone looks very nice and we are eager to get our hands on it to check out performance. When we do, you will be the first to know.
