So you may recall from a few months ago we brought you an article about the little Aussie taking on Motorola US.

  Update: It didn’t take long to get some more info on this one. It seems there is definitely a Red variant floating around, hence the updated image, and also it doesn’t seem it will be a Virgin exclusive. Thanks for the update.

Now let me just say this first and foremost, this is just a rumour. It has come from a reliable source and I have been told, that it is extremely likely that this will happen. So, it seems as though the newly announced Xoom and Atrix, are looking like they will be taken by Optus, [...]
