Fresh out of China are images of the Motorola Sholes Tablet. As the name suggests, the Sholes Tablet has a similar underlying architecture as the Motorola DROID/Milestone (formerly known as the Sholes) with a few notable improvements in the camera and in the addition of Crystal Talk. The specs for the Sholes Tablet include a 533 MHz TiOMAP processor, a 3.7 inch capacitive touchscreen display with 840X485 resolution and multi-touch support, UMTS/HSPA connectivity, an 8MP camera with Xenon flash, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Crystal Talk, and Android 2.0. Only time will tell if the Sholes Tablet will move from R&D prototype to finished product. Full-size image after the break.

Rumor: Verizon X Phone candidate discovered, to pack dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor

A new report says that Verizon may release in the future a Motorola handset similar to the XT1058 (rumored AT&T XFON), suggesting that a CDMA Google X Phone may be launched alongside a GSM version…

If that’s real, I can now safely say that the X phone isn’t Nexus, but rather a slightly skinned Motorola phone (if that screenshot is true) because the “droid blast” icon doesn’t follow the design line of the other holo icons

“Droid Blast” sounds like something you’d need to take Imodium to prevent from happening again.

It was nice while it lasted, well, back to waiting for the next nexus in november.

Love the way the render looks.

The concept picture looks pretty sweet but the specs are a year old. If this is true, I’ll pass.

Google should give Motorola chance with next nexus device or make multiple Nexuses with more then one manufacture.
Main problem in my point view with Motorola is slow update I hope after Google acquisition it will be faster I will skip this device if it is not Nexus and I will C if Motorola getting better in updating wise or not.

Hate to kill the excitement here, but just by seeing the “droid blast” option we know it’s Verizon exclusive and that kills the possibility of it being a nexus. It would be cool to see software from all the different oem’s directly available for nexus devices or even all phones. For example, what if you like the build quality of a Motorola but the Samsung touch wiz software. Or you like HTC sense but want a removable battery and expandable storage options of Samsung Galaxy phones. This would also grant the ability to turn any hardware capable phone into a nexus style device as well.
