Droid Razr To Taste Ice Cream Sandwich Update In Q1 2012

Posted: October 19th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Gadgets | Tags: , , , , , , | No Comments »

razr7

Motorola’s Droid Razr made quite the splash yesterday thanks in part to its impressive hardware, but the Android build that it runs seems bit quaint now thanks to Ice Cream Sandwich. No worries, though: if you pick up a Droid Razr when it ships in November, you should be getting the Android 4.0 update in early 2012.

News of the Ice Cream Sandwich release window came courtesy of Alain Mutricy, Motorola Mobility’s SVP of Portfolio and Product Management. He seemed to be very forthcoming while speaking at a Berlin press conference, mentioning that Droid Razr users will receive the update sometime in Q1 2012, and that Motorola is working to get the Droid Razr’s hallmark features working in Ice Cream Sandwich.

Among those features is Motocast, a nifty way to directly stream media and content from your PC to your Droid Razr. And who could forget Smart Actions, the context-sensitive app that manages device settings according to user-defined situations? The Droid Razr wouldn’t be the Droid Razr without them, so a little extra time to get things working is to be expected.

It’s a bummer for those who wanted (or hoped) to see Motorola’s hardware combined with Google’s latest-and-greatest OS, but at least the Droid faithful have something to look forward to.

Droid Bionic release date is officially official, according to official commercial

Posted: September 2nd, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Android | Tags: , , , , , , , | No Comments »

 

As if the entire Droid Bionic saga wasn’t exciting enough, we’ve finally got officially official video confirmation that the Bionic’s release date is Sept. 8. A date you’ve probably heard once or twice or five times. Like Costco getting it then, or other, independent retailers getting it then, too.

This is on TV, so you know it’s real now. And in case you missed it, the Droid Bionic is coming out on September 8. Did everyone get that?

Thanks, John!

Motorola Droid Bionic accessories shown in blurrycam pic from Verizon earnings report

Posted: July 24th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Android | Tags: , , , , , , , , , | No Comments »

Bionic details

A tipster that’s "close to the matter" was able to send us this blurrycam shot of a slide shown at the end of the Verizon earnings report, and it includes a few Motorola Droid Bionic details.  This basically confirms the laptop dock, full Bluetooth keyboard, and HD webtop dock with IR remote ability.  There’s no word if any of these docking accessories that already are available for the Motorola Atrix 4G are compatible, but we’re not holding our breath.  It also shows off the chrome banding around the edge of the device, which lends that extra bit of design to an otherwise generic black slab.  Of course the news we all really want to know — the release date — is nowhere to be seen.

Thanks, Anon!
