Later on today, Motorola will be holding a flash sale on its Moto X, slashing a whopping $100 off the usual price. The promotion will only run for one hour — from 3pm to 4pm Eastern Time — so in order to bag yourself the handset for just £299 you will need to move like a whippet.

Motorola’s custom Gallery application, which ships as standard on the Google-owned company’s Moto X, Moto G and Droid range of smartphones, is the latest in a long line of apps to make its way onto the Play Store for ‘easy updating.’ To celebrate the launch, Motorola has decided to give the app a little makeover, with a new light color palette and a slide-in hamburger menu mounted on the left-hand side of the screen.

Starting today, you can finally order Motorola’s flagship smartphone, the Moto X, with some great new wooden finishes from the company’s MotoMaker website. For an additional $25 on top of the usual price tag, customers can choose for Moto to attach either an ebony, walnut or teak backplate.

Three new wooden back covers are coming soon to Moto X.

The customizable Moto X will soon be available with backs made from three new types of wood. Shoppers using Motorola’s Moto Maker website will be able to pick from ebony, walnut and teak starting Jan. 21, and the natural options will add just $25 to the cost of the phone.

After Motorola began rolling out its Android 4.4 KitKat updates for the Droid Maxx and Droid Ultra back in December, the company was forced to suspend its release due to widespread reports of pretty serious problems. Many users ended up with “bricked” devices after installing the release and were forced to take their handsets to Motorola for revival.

But customers will be pleased to know that Motorola has resolved those problems now and resumed its KitKat rollout to these devices.
