Following the new logo unveiling for Motorola, the Google company has released its first print ad for the upcoming “Moto X” Android smartphone. Given that Independence Day is this week, the ad takes a very patriotic stance with the tagline, “Designed by you. Assembled in the USA.”
Verizon’s Droid Xyboard owners find themselves in a very interesting situation after the carrier announced their cellular devices will be the only devices to receive the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update, whilst their Wi-Fi counterparts will remain on Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Wi-Fi devices generally surpass their cellular twins on a regular basis when it comes to software updates. So what we’re seeing today is pretty unusual.
Android-powered game consoles have really started to take off this year, what with devices like the NVIDIA Shield, the Ouya, the GamePop, and others arriving. But they could be set to receive a big boost from Google, which is reportedly developing a game console of its own.
Sources claim the search giant is also working on an Android-powered smartwatch that could launch before the end of the year.
Motorola Mobility has a much-improved company logo — much better than the old one — which makes it clear that it is now “a Google company.” Since the search giant acquired Motorola back in August 2011, there hasn’t been many visible changes to its branding or its products. So a new logo is a huge step in the right direction.
A camera sample taken by the Motorola Moto X has leaked online, courtesy of @Evleaks, showing off the capabilities of the upcoming handset’s 10-megapixel camera for the first time.
