Earlier today, Motorola’s latest flagship — the new Moto X — went up for pre-order on AT&T as well as on the company’s own website.

Microsoft today updated its OneNote application for Android to add support for Android Wear, allowing users to add new notes using their voice on devices like the Moto 360, the LG G Watch, and the Samsung Gear Live. The feature means you can quickly add things you don’t want to forget to your notebooks without even taking out your smartphone.

Its specifications aren’t exactly awful, either.
