What Google / Motorola should learn from HP’s $99 WebOS TouchPad
HP recently ‘killed off’ their Mobile Operating System, WebOS, which they not long ago acquired when they bought out Palm; but what’s this got to do with Android? Not much really, however, here’s why I think Google and Motorola (Googlerola, if you will) should be paying attention — in my dream world, at least. With [...]
Editorial: Should Google buy WebOS from HP and roll it into Android? Why not?
It’s been a busy week, a week of big announcements. First we had Google and Motorola joining hands in holy matrimony and now it’s HP’s decision to dump WebOS after only 16 months after it’s purchase of Palm. From all reports though, they are only dumping the hardware and devices that webOS was being developed [...]

If you’re the owner of the Motorola manufactured Milestone 2 and you purchased it from Vodafone, you’ll be pleased to know there’s a software update waiting for you. You can update by using either Blur Over The Air — which is just FOTA — or you can hook your Milestone 2 up to your PC [...]
Google to purchase Motorola Mobility and 17,000 patents for $12.5b
Whether you like them or not, Motorola Mobility — the mobile division of Motorola — will soon be completely owned by Google after agreeing to a sale price of 12.5 billion USD. That’s a premium of 63% over the normal share price, meaning that each share was sold for $40 in cold hard cash. The [...]
Motorola has registered 5 domains related to the Motorola KORE tablet
You might remember a few months ago when rumours of a successor to the Motorola XOOM — dubbed the XOOM 2, of course — first hit the web. Since then, a tablet with the name Motorola KORE has been floating around the rumoursphere. To add to these KORE rumours, Motorola have recently registered MotorolaKore.com, KoreMotorola.com, [...]
Which devices on Vodafone are getting software updates in the near future? Find out here!
It looks as though Vodafone are taking a bit of a hint from Telstra here by letting users know when their devices may or may not be updated in the near future. Luckily for most users they’ve already been updated to the latest version(s) of Android over the past few weeks, however, there are still [...]
New Atrix-looking Motorola device leaks, can shoot 1080p video
The device you can see above has leaked out in China and is apparently headed to AT&T in the US of A. There is very little known about this device at the present time, and could be a prototype for all we know. But what is assumed from the images (found after the break) is [...]
Motorola shipped 440,000 XOOMs between April and June
During its latest earnings call, Motorola announced that they had shipping 440,000 XOOM tablets during Q2 of this year. For comparisons sake, the iPad shipped 9.3 million units in the same quarter — proof that Android tablets just aren’t at the level of the iPad, yet. As I’ve said many times before, we’re yet to [...]

Rumour: Motorola XOOM 2 to hit Australian shores by Christmas?
To add some more credence to the Motorola XOOM end-of-life rumour we posted about earlier. It seems as though the Motorola XOOM 2 may have just passed through the FCC, however only dimensions were mentioned. With all this price dropping and talk of pushing the XOOM out the door, we also recieved another small piece [...]
Rumour: Optus will stock the Galaxy Tab 10.1 soon, XOOM is on its way out the door
I’ve returned from the Rumour Mill with a bag of salt and this news. The first part of the rumour is that Optus will stock the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the near future. Our source said this has been confirmed inside of Optus, but we’re lacking details to call it confirmed ourselves. There’s nothing stopping [...]

Motorola XOOM on Telstra and Optus — Which is better value?
As Telstra and Optus are both selling the Motorola XOOM, we thought we’d do a quick little comparison to see which Carrier was offering the best value for money with their plans. Plans aren’t everything though, you’ll have to also put into consideration which network has been speed and coverage where you live; usually this [...]
