Motorola Xoom unboxing video
Wirefly, a mobile phone reseller based in the US, unboxed a Motorola Xoom on camera, and seeing as we at Ausdroid are very excited about the Xoom and its arrival here, we thought we’d share the video with you. There’s not much to say beyond check out the video – the device looks very suave, [...]
Motorola Xoom pricing confirmed in the US
Overnight, Motorola Xoom pricing got all official at $799 for 3G/4G and $600 for WiFi-only. At these price points, the WiFi only version is closely comparable with the iPad sans 3G, however the 3G/4G version is a little pricier. I think we all know which of the iPad or Xoom we’d choose, right? It will [...]
Motorola Atrix gets root, also has signed bootloader
Update: Further probing has shown bootloader is ‘signed’ not ‘encrypted’. This makes things a little easier for devs to try and crack, but it’s still not ideal. Just last night the Motorola Atrix was rooted, even before it’s released to the general public, but that’s pretty much where the good news stops. With the newly [...]
Motorola Atrix to launch on 22 February – coming here soon after!
We’ve been talking about the Motorola Atrix for awhile. It’s Motorola’s new flagship phone which has some rocking features – it’s a dual-core phone, with 1GB of RAM.

Motorola to enable 1080p video recording on the Motorola Atrix after launch
Motorola don’t want to let LG have all the fun with its 1080p shootin’, dual-core powered device, so they have announced that they will enable 1080p video recording on their flagship device, the Motorola Atrix, after it has launched.

New Motorola Atrix promo video released, inspires you to spend more on accessories
Motorola have just released another promotional video for the upcoming Motorola Atrix, which we suspect is coming to Telstra in Q1-2. The video shows that when you purchase every single accessory under the sun for it, such as the Multimedia Dock and Netbook-looking thing, you too can hang up on restaurants and watch your favourite [...]

So Telstra have just put up a post on Telstra Exchange detailing what technology was launched at CES and the year ahead in tech. The first thing we noticed is there are two pictures of the Motorola Atrix which was announced at CES and is heading to AT&T as well as Rogers in Canada. Why [...]
Motorola says it’s working on a ‘bootloader solution’ to allow unofficial development
Earlier today Motorola left a blunt reply to a YouTube commenter on their Motorola Atrix 4G video who said that Motorola should easy up on unofficial development and stop using Locked Bootloaders, that reply being.. @tdcrooks if you want to do custom roms, then buy elsewhere, we’ll continue with our strategy that is working thanks [...]
Which carriers will be picking up which new devices?
There have been a lot of cool new devices announced in the past week or so thanks to the wonder that is the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES!). Having all these devices out in the wild is all well and good, but what really matters to most people is knowing whether or not some of [...]

Droid Pro — Review
Although the Droid Pro may never be released by a carrier here, we thought it would be cool to one from the guys at MobiCity and put it through its paces, as I liked the look of the form factor. The Droid Pro is a Verizon Wireless device from the US, meaning it’s a CDMA [...]
