Picture of Motorola 'Shadow' leaked, inverted on Taiwanese forum
By Richard Lai posted Dec 31st 2009 11:44AM



While everyone's gearing up to celebrate New Year's Eve, it seems that Motorola's busy squeezing out the last bit of rumor juice of 2009. We're looking at what's purported to be Motorola's 'Shadow' (not 'Mirage' as Google Translate unhelpfully suggests) -- a phone with 9mm thickness, 4.3-inch 850x484 screen (larger than the devices on the leaked roadmap), HDMI port and 8-megapixel camera capable of 1080p video recording. Not much else came out of the "tight-lipped" tipster who might've inverted the picture's colors -- see above for our fix -- but an educated guess should point to that friendly green robot (though that battery icon certainly isn't part of Android's game). Any brave souls dare to guess otherwise?

Fake, i think.

I think is the old rumored Sholes Tablet, european version with 8MPx.

That's not Motorola Sholes Tablet. Motorola Shadow will release to China and not US.

Motorola Calgary / DROID Devour gets shot up in silver, new info
by Boy Genius on January 2nd, 2010 at 7:18am



Motorola making a device in more that one color? You don’t say… One of our connects sent us the above photo of the Motorola Calgary / DROID Devour / Whatever, and confirmed the specifications we posted a few months back. We also received some more feedback on the device — hit the jump for the goodies!

We’re told the keyboard was “nice” and the phone itself was “easier to use” compared to the Motorola DROID. Obviously that’s personal opinion, and maybe the BLUR OS simplifies things for some people, but the trackpad apparently is killer as a navigational input device. Oh? The device has Wi-Fi, GPS, a 1420mAh battery, but unfortunately no SIM card slot as it is not a global device. Whether the unit will come in multiple colors or not is not confirmed as these are still non-final units, we’re told, but we’d probably bet on it being available in black as well as silver. If only they kept that RAZR-keyboard…

Motorola Droid Devour (Android phone) to feature same CPU as Palm Pixi
By Taylor Wimberly on Jan 29

We found a reason to get excited about the upcoming Motorola Droid Devour (aka Calgary, A555) that is headed to Verizon Wireless soon. One of our reliable robots has shared the missing specs of the Devour – it features the Qualcomm MSM7627 processor, which is a first for Android phones.

This happens to be a fairly new chipset from Qualcomm and it was recently featured in the Palm Pixi and RIM BlackBerry Curve 8530. The MSM7627 is still from the ARM11 family like many first generation Android phones, but it has a couple of new enhancements.

Technical specs of the MSM7627:

* Two ARM cores integrated into a single chip – a dedicated CPU core and a dedicated modem processor – for an unparalleled level of integration:
o 1. 600MHz applications processor with floating point unit and L2 cache
o 2. 400MHz modem processor
* Supports both CDMA2000® 1xEV-DO Rev. A and UMTS HSDPA 7.2Mbps/HSUPA 5.76Mbps, and GSM
* In addition to the two ARM cores, features 320MHz application DSP for multimedia supporting full 30 fps WVGA encode/decode, 200MHz hardware-accelerated 3D graphics core supporting OPEN GL 2.0, high-resolution camera, integrated GPS
* 12mm x 12mm footprint
* Optimized power consumption

As you can see the MSM7627 has a 600 MHz applications processor which is an improvement over the 528 MHz of our old favorite the MS7201 (platform of the G1, MT3G, CLIQ, etc). The other important addition is the dedicated 200 MHz GPU which supports OpenGL ES 2.0, so the Devour should be a nice gaming device.

A recap of the rumored Devour specs:

* 3.1 inch capacitive display HVGA (480×320)
* 600 MHz Qualcomm MSM7627
* 512 MB flash ROM, 256 MB RAM
* 3 megapixel camera
* Android 1.6 with Motoblur
* Others: Optical joystick, 3.5mm headset jack, GPS, Wi-Fi, microSD card slot

It is interesting to note that this phone might ship with Android 1.6. This phone has also been referred to as the little brother of the Droid and we had speculated it might run Android 2.1 by launch. I would expect to see this phone in Q1 2010 based on the fact it will not include Android 2.1. However, we still expect Motorola will provide an update to Android 2.1 by Q2 2010.

The other thing to note about the software is that this phone does include Motoblur, which is a first for Verizon. The first two Motoblur phones (CLIQ and Backflip) were built off the Android 1.5 firmware, so this will be the first Motorola device to feature Android 1.6. This would mean the phone could run some of the newer Google Android apps like Maps Navigation, Google Goggles, and the updated Android Market.

Finally, I think the most exciting thing about this phone could be its price. The MSM7627 was designed for low-cost smartphones and the inclusion of a 3 MP camera (instead of 5 MP like the CLIQ) tells me Motorola is aiming for the low end. The Palm Pixi Plus which features the same platform goes for $99 with a 2yr contract or $399 full price.

So that’s the Devour in a nutshell. The Verizon Android phone for those who want a full QWERTY keyboard, but can’t afford the Droid.

CES: Motorola shows off media tablet prototype (video)
Jan 7, 2010 17:50 EST
CES | media tablet | Motorola



Here’s a short clip on Motorola’s prototype tablet video player. The device was part of a set of demonstrations from Verizon Wireless at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The operator was showing concept applications for its next generation high-speed LTE network, expected to cover up to 30 U.S. markets this year.

Motorola says the tablet could be available for the fourth quarter this year, but that would depend on Verizon Wireless and other factors. The price hasn’t been set but could be around $300 for the device. The prototype runs on an Nvidia chip and uses Google’s Android as its operating system. It could support up to 32 gigabytes of external memory that could be used to download videos to watch later. Movies could also be streamed over the wireless network. Here’s Motorola’s Don Schoch with a quick overview.

Motorola Android flip-phone leaks

Images of a new Motorola Android smartphone have leaked, with the unnamed model having a flip cover form-factor similar to the Verizon Motorola Krave ZN4. The touchscreen handset has a transparent cover and a row of touch-sensitive controls; it’s also a MOTOBLUR device, it seems, going from icons on the homescreen.

According to IT168, where the images leaked, the phone is in prototype stage. Interesting it has dual network indicators showing in the status bar, which some are speculating could mean it has dual-3G capabilities for better coverage. Other tipped specs include a 5-megapixel camera and 720p HD video recording.

Of course, it could also be a Motorola-styled copy, running a ripped build of the company’s Android OS and themed around their popular Ming/Krave design.

The Moto Ming design that comes with a signature transparent cover will be continue in China. According to leaked photos on hiapk, Motorola will announce the Moto MT820 and it will be an Android smartphone with full touch screen.The Moto MT820 is made to support China’s TD-SCDMA 3G network. It has a slightly different button design compare to the leaked photo last week in Android Community. Could the last week design a prototype or to be launched for other regions?

Dont think that this will be an Android phone. What is the point of Android on 2 inch screen ???
Anyway, if will be relesed, at least they need another OS not Symbian UIQ. UIQ is a crap, slow, ugly and outdated OS.
Personaly, I dont want this phone. Android FTW .

[MotoMania]

Motorola have own OS; that's OS AZINGO.
