Secondly, it has the low price tag of $379 for the one and only 16GB storage model, and otherwise looks a lot like the first XOOM. The press release from Motorola published on Friday is seen after the break.

This May Be What The Xoom 2 Looks Like
Curious? We have a right to be so. The Motorola Xoom 2 may be staring out at you through your computer screen right now.

But unfortunately through the leaks made at Droid-Life, there isn’t a single statement of internal specifications (read: processors, RAM, etc.). Oh, well. Till sometimes later I suppose.

Google To Acquire Motorola Mobility For $12.5 Billion
What?
Yes, this is totally real. Google has put down $12.5 billion to buy good old Motorola Mobility, meaning that they own the Motorola division responsible for the Xoom tablet, the Droid lines of smartphones, and more. This also means that hey have a integrated hardware section to producing Android devices like the Nexus One and the Nexus S. The deal, for $40.00 per share in cash and $12.5 billion cash and is set to be closed in late 2011 or early 2012. Full press release after the break. Currently I am listening to the live press call, which is more of a recap of the deal than anything else. Out of all of this, where will MotoBlur fit in a world of stock Android phones built by the new Motorola/Google alliance? And most importantly, how will the patent battles change?

Motorola ATRIX 4G Now Has Gingerbread And 1080p HD Playback
Two greats things added to the 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 Motorola Atrix 4G (really HSPA+) on AT&T. One, that Android 2.3.4 with the Motorola UI is available for install, however as a manual download and install, rather than an over-the-air-update (OTA). Second is that 1080p HD video playback is now enabled, so your YouTube vids just got better without any hardware changes. Other improvements pertain to the MotoBlur UI, including faster Webtop browsing. You can also allow non-Market apps to get installed on the Atrix 4G, like Amazon App Store.
