AT&T is now rolling out the much awaited Android 4.4.2 update for the Moto X smartphones running on its networks. The new software comes a bit late in the day, even compared to other carrier variants in the U.S., but owners of the handset will be glad it has finally arrived.
Seven months after launching in the U.S., the unlocked variant of Motorola’s current flagship smartphone, the Moto X, is now available in India as from today, Wednesday, March 19. According to Motorola’s VP of Product, Punit Soni, potential customers will be able to purchase the handset in either black or white for exactly ₹23,999 Indian Rupees — which roughly equates to $390.
The iWatch hasn’t been announced. We haven’t seen any leaked hardware, but that’s not stopping every major tech company in the world from rushing out their smartwatch designs, including Motorola which just announced its beautiful answer to iWatch, the Moto 360.
Rather than utilizing a square display Motorola ambitiously decided to give the Moto 360 watch face a round display, which is trickier to manufacture and code for, but it looks gorgeous. Moto 360 is powered by Google Wear, features Google Now voice inputs, has built in support for Maps, Email, Texting and calls, plus it doubles as a pretty nice timepiece.
Here’s the Moto 360 teaser
Following rumors dating back as far as December 2013 professing that Republic Wireless would soon be offering Motorola’s scaled-down variant of its flagship smartphone, the Moto G, for just $149.99 on a $5 per month tariff, the operator has today announced that it will, indeed, be doing just that, starting next month.
A new report out of Taiwan suggests that Chinese manufacturer Lenovo could soon become the next big thing in the Android industry. It is said that the company is on its way to overtake LG to claim the No. 2 spot as the leading Android smartphone manufacturer. The sources credit the acquisition of Motorola Mobility for the expected surge in marketshare.
