The Motorola ATRIX was among the most interesting announcements at this year’s CES. Not only because it’s among the few Android smartphone powered by the powerful Tegra 2 platform but also because it come with a bunch of docking accessories, which can turn the device from a TV video player with its own remote to a slim netbook (or smartbook) with a proper screen and a hardware keyboard.

The Motorola ATRIX have some other noteworthy features too, such as 1GB of RAM and the qHD screen (540 x 960 pixels). There’s also the on-board fingerprint reader, the Gorilla Glass display, the 16GB of storage, the FullHD 1080p video playback, and the HDMI port. The Atrix also has a 5 megapixel camera with 720p video recording and but so far is stuck at Android 2.2 Froyo (as opposed to getting the most recent ver. 2.3 Gingerbread).

In March the Motorola ATRIX will be available in Europe (Orange UK first) and in the US (as the ATRIX 4G for AT&T). So far no projected prising is revealed.

So back to the topic of the day. I do have a video ad for the Motorola Atrix but it’s not only that. I’ve got you a whole Atrix playlist with 10 videos in queue. The total running time is 3 minutes. The clips are really short. And yes, most of them don’t have audio – only the first and the last one have one.



I guess we’ll see a lot more of the Motorola ATRIX before its official market launch.

It was just yesterday that we met the Tegra2-powered Motorola Atrix 4G headed for AT&T. Today Motorola has announced another powerful Droid, this time for Verizon.

DROID BIONIC is also based on the Tegra2 platform and utilizes a dual-core 1GHz processor, but it packs "only" 512MB RAM.

The rest of the specs include a 4.3-inch qHD (540×960 pixels) capacitive touchscreen, an 8-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash and 1080p video recording, Wi-Fi b/g/n, 4G LTE support, GPS, HDMI port, 3.5mm audio jack and microSD card slot.



Motorola DROID BIONIC runs on the latest Android v2.3 Gingerbread and is expected to hit the Verizon stores in the end of Q1 this year.

Motorola Mobility has pulled yet another ace from its sleeve – the Motorola XOOM 10.1” tablet has a dual-core Tegra 2 at its heart and Android 3.0 Honeycomb in its mind. Like the Atrix phone, the Motorola XOOM is all about accessorizing – like, say, a wireless keyboard, or maybe a dock or two...



NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 is the next big thing in Android tablets – and with 1GHz dual-core CPU (coupled with 1GB of RAM), FullHD decoding and output via HDMI port and smooth Flash 10.1 support, that’s no surprise.

The Motorola XOOM has a 10.1” screen with 1280×800 pixels resolution. There’s a 2MP video-call camera on the front and a 5MP primary camera with dual-LED flash on the back with 720p video recording capabilities.

The XOOM will be leveraging on Verizon’s LTE network. It can also connect to Wi-Fi b/g/n networks working at either 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Local storage wouldn’t be a problem with the Motorola XOOM as it has 32GB of built-in memory and an SD card support (that’s right, SD not microSD).

The Motorola XOOM measures in at 730g and is 12.9mm thick. The battery promises up to 10 hours of video playback.

I mentioned accessories, so here they are – the Bluetooth wireless keyboard was designed for Android so it has the Android function keys, the Speaker HD Dock packs built-in speakers, HDMI port and three USB 2.0 ports. There’s also a standard charging dock and a fancy leather Portfolio Case.

The Motorola XOOM will launch in Q1 but the 4G functionality will come in Q2 after an upgrade.

Here’s a hands-on video with the XOOM:

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past few months you probably know that Motorola will be the manufacturer of the first Honeycomb-running tablet, that will see its official announcement next week at CES. What none of us knew so far was the name of the device, but now we’ve got that covered too.

The 10-inch Android slate will be called Motorola Droid Xoom, according to Droid-Life sources, close to the American company. They have also denied the rumors that the tablet will be LTE-capable, but a proper USB slot that could possibly accommodate an LTE modem hasn’t been ruled out just yet.

It’s just one week until the Motorola Droid Xoom is officially showcased so all remaining questions will get their answers soon.

The first tablets based on the rumored Android 3.0 a.k.a. Honeycomb are expected to see daylight for the first time at the CES 2011. However, rumor is the first Honeycomb-powered devices won’t hit the market until March next year.

This is when the upcoming version of the Android platform should be officially released by Google. By the way, Motorola isn’t the only company working on a Honecomb-driven tablet.

Apparently, companies such as Asustek, Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS), and MSI are about to unveil some Android-based tablets too. And some of them might have a dual-core Tegra2 processor on board.

As it seems, the next year’s CES will be fun so stay tuned for more details on it.

Now here’s an interesting video in which Motorola is teasing us with its upcoming Android-based tablet. The device is going to run the next iteration of Android, codenamed Honeycomb.

The thing is we’ve already seen an unannounced Motorola tablet in a pretty close encounter and we’ve also seen it waltzing on stage, so we don’t think Motorola has a enough left to surprise us, but who knows.

Following the Android product cycle, Android Honeycomb won’t be available before the summer of 2011, but obviously Motorola will have something ready to show as at CES 2011, which is due in early January next year. I guess, we’re about to see in a few weeks.

Now enough talking, enjoy the video.

At this rate there won’t be much left for Motorola to announce when they eventually get round to unveiling their new tablet. The latest batch of leaked photos confirms that the Android Honeycomb-running slate will pack a front-facing camera and will be headed to Verizon.

The leak source confirms the rumored 1GHz Tegra 2 CPU and the 10-inch 1280 x 800 pixels resolution (though the aspect ratio seems different in those shots). The available RAM will be 512 MB and there will be 32GB of internal storage (expandable by another 32GB thought the microSD slot). A standard micro-USB jack (Yay!), a mini-HDMI port and a 3.5mm standard audio jack also got verified.
