Video: Motorola Devour demonstration
by Chuck Zich on Feb 22, 20100 Comments">0
Rick Osterloh, VP of Android Software & MOTOBLUR services has been caught seemingly in his own cubicle, showing off the Motorola Devour in a nice 7 minute long video. The video shows the attractive form factor and well spaced keyboard along with features of MOTOBLUR and Motorola’s new Moto Phone Portal. The portal allows you to view media files from your phone directly on your computer all over a WiFi connection. We hope to see this great feature ported to other popular Motorola devices such as the DROID in the near future. The Devour is set to launch exclusively with …
Google’s Goggles and Translate work together in the future
by Chuck Zich on Feb 18, 20101 Comments">1
An exciting new Google feature has been shown off at this year’s Mobile World Congress recently pairing Google Goggles and Google Translate to work together in a harmonious union. The specific example shown in the video after the jump, has the demonstrator taking a picture of a German dinner menu with Google Goggles, and having it translate to English only seconds later. Quite a cool concept that is still under development, but shows great promise. While Google Goggles is still working out the kinks in terms of accuracy, the translation service is working well and even supports text to speech …
A slew of new details on Dell’s Mini 5 plus new video
by Chuck Zich on Feb 16, 20102 Comments">2
While there certainly isn’t anything “mini” about it, the Dell Mini 5 is piquing interest everywhere with it’s in-between size of a phone and tablet PC. During MWC today a few more interesting details have surfaced regarding some of the features of the phone that have been previously shrouded in mystery. The Mini 5 is set to launch on AT&T’s network with rumored future availability for T-Mobile. It is said to be running something “newer than Android 1.6″ and some reports are saying Android 2.1. It now officially totes a forward facing camera which will enable the device to perform …
Thirsty? Check out this Motorola Quench video
by Chuck Zich on Feb 16, 20100 Comments">0
Earlier today we reported on the official unveiling of the mystery Motorola phone previously known as the Zeppelin. Now being called the CLIQ XT/Quench, Engadget has been lovely enough to shoot a video for us on the new device. Showing off Motoblur, which seems to be a love/hate relationship with users right now the phone has a solid look to it and interchangeable backs allowing for user customization. The screen looks very responsive and the OS is running seen running smoothly. A detail previously unknown is that the device comes preloaded with Swype text input which is a fantastic feature …
New Dell Mini 5 video and detailed pictures
by Chuck Zich on Feb 12, 20101 Comments">1
The much anticipated Dell Mini 5 recently landed in Engadget’s hands and they wasted no time in snapping photos and shooting a nice video of the boot up sequence for the half tablet half phone hybrid. Noted in our previous coverage, the interesting aspect of this device is that it is in between a phone and a tablet in size and is trying to satisfy both forms which has not yet been done successfully. It is a bit disappointing that nobody has taken a photo of it while held up to the face or ear because it may be a …
Google speaks of future voice to voice translation, but is it available now?
by Chuck Zich on Feb 10, 20106 Comments">6
There have been a few articles circulating the web on what Franz Och, Director of Google’s translation services, has said about Google’s future of voice to voice translation and that it was a goal of the company to implement it within the next few years. For those impatient types (and aren’t we all?), let’s forget a few years and grab this feature now. By downloading two free apps from the Android Market, you can start enjoying this technology at this very moment. The first app, Google Translate, is directly from Google and can do the sort of things you expect …
Rumor: Successor to Froyo to be called Gingerbread
by Chuck Zich on Feb 10, 20100 Comments">0
A little tidbit from Brian Swetland, an employee of Google who works on the Linux kernel, tells us that the iteration of Android beyond Froyo will be called Gingerbread. Looks like we hit it pretty dead on with our guess back in mid January when trying to come up with clever “G” names that hit the sweet tooth. The official quote was posted to a forum on LWN.net and is as follows: We maintain a set of patches on top of Linux, which we periodically rebase to the latest released Linux kernel. We’ve been doing this roughly every other kernel …
More odd details on the rumored Motorola MOTOSPLIT
by Chuck Zich on Feb 07, 20100 Comments">0
A new rendering as well as some odd form factor details have emerged regarding Motorola’s MOTOSPLIT. The anonymous tipster goes into detail about a Q3 release on AT&T’s network, identical specs to the BACKFLIP (which seems like a step backward for a phone releasing Q3) and how the actual side splitting keyboard is going to work. Here are the exact remarks: The keyboard keys are inset and probably have no tactile feedback, however, they should be quite easy to use. It looks like the cutouts are pretty finger-friendly, as they contour to the shape of a standard finger. Under those …
Motorola Zeppelin to be called CLIQ XT?
by Chuck Zich on Feb 07, 20102 Comments">2
Earlier reports of the Motorola Zeppelin surfacing are starting to look more and more confirmed as an internal PowerPoint slide by T-Mobile has been leaked that may justify a few of the details we have already touched on. The slide was leaked on a PPCGeeks forum via MobileTechWorld and specifies a March 10 release date on T-Mobile and possibly an official name of CLIQ XT. If you read our previous coverage of the device you will remember that March 10 lines up perfectly as does the Cliq-esque nature of the phone with the exception of a physical keyboard. Lower end …
Have a better look at the Motorola Zeppelin
by Chuck Zich on Feb 04, 20100 Comments">0
Last week a new photo of a Motorola mystery phone surfaced showing off bodacious curves with little else on details. Today, Gizmodo Brazil has unleashed a flurry of new crisp pictures to whet our appetite. The phone, said to be at the lower end of Motorola’s Android spectrum, looks to be a CLIQ/BACKFLIP sans the physical keyboard and wacky mechanical features. The shell of the device is very attractive and even though the screen seems quite small, looks to have potential to be a big seller for the market it is targeting. Specs at this point include MOTOBLUR running on …
Video: Michael Dell fondles a Mini 5
by Chuck Zich on Jan 28, 20101 Comments">1
Michael Dell was caught in Switzerland briefly showing off his new toy in red. The quasi-tablet/phone has an astounding 5″ screen and looks to fit comfortably in his hand, yet when sitting next to an iPhone, it looks gigantic. We posted a hands on video a few weeks ago of the device as well as a teardown reveal of the official specifications. In this video, we get a great look at Dell’s custom Android interface, icon style, and fluidity of the Snapdragon processor. After the announcement of Apple’s iPad and its resounding negative press, it is great to see Dell …
New Motorola mystery phone shows its curves
by Chuck Zich on Jan 28, 20100 Comments">0
Rumored to be announced at next month’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Spain, the phone to the right is going by the codename of “Zeppelin”. This makes little sense as this phone has also been going by that name and has been made very official as of late (although since ditching the Zeppelin title). For now, we will call it the Motorola mystery until it’s formal announcement arrives. Specifications are said to include MOTOBLUR running on 2.0 or 2.1, a 5 Megapixel camera, a 3.2-inch HVGA display, GPS, and touch sensitive buttons below the screen. The most interesting part of …
Google now officially selling the Nexus One Desktop Dock
by Chuck Zich on Jan 28, 20100 Comments">0
In the midst of all the iPad news today, Google has quietly made available the desktop dock for it’s flagship device, the Nexus One. For a mere $45 you get the black molded plastic to the right and the following features: Check the local time and weather Set and clear alarms Watch a slideshow of your photos Play music Dim your phone’s display for nighttime use As with the DROID multimedia dock, when the phone is placed into the dock it automatically cues up the “clock radio” mode with an interface that is meant for multimedia or quick viewing of …
Video: More action of the Motorola Motoroi from South Korea
by Chuck Zich on Jan 27, 20100 Comments">0
Last week we brought you video of the Motorola MOTOROI in action in an extreme closeup of the phone on YouTube. Another video of even more length has been uncovered from a South Korean press event showing off more of the phone’s unique features, including the HDMI video playback on a large screen. The quality looks fantastic and the phone continues to tickle our curiosity. Sporting 5 home screens and some modification of MOTOBLUR, it seems to have similar styling cues to the DROID but trades in a few of the features for others. For instance, its camera gets upgraded …
Updated pics of HTC’s Supersonic and Bravo
by Chuck Zich on Jan 26, 20101 Comments">1
New pictures have been scouted of the HTC Supersonic and Bravo showing off more detail and less blurriness than previous reports. The HTC Supersonic, said to be packing HD2 like specs with a Snapdragon processor and, more impressively, WiMAX capabilities has been spotted online in the past few days in some very blurry shots. The phone can now be seen in a much clearer picture as well as a new rendering (although we believe it to be fan made). The Bravo, which was first spied about a week ago also gets a fresh new pic and looks pretty much the …
