Motorola Gleam+ is a RAZR-like clamshell
Motorola launched a successor of its RAZR-like Gleam clamshell, simply called Gleam+. That “plus” is well deserved since the new device looks much better than the original Gleam model. Moreover, specs are also bumped up, though at its core Gleam+ remains a feature phone. Speaking of specs, this fancy fella’ rocks a 2.8-inch WQVGA (240×400 pixels) internal display, external screen comprised of 144 LEDs, 2-megapixel camera with fixed focus, Bluetooth 2.1, FM radio, 3.5mm headset jack, and 50MB of built-in storage that is further expandable with microSD memory cards.

Motorola: Hardware causes late Android updates, not custom UIs
When it comes to explaining the cause of Android fragmentation; we’ve heard it all … or so we thought. Recently, Motorola senior vice president Christy Wyatt voiced her thoughts on the company’s current struggles on delivering new versions of the Android OS to customers, such as Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. To no one’s surprise, Wyatt mentioned how time-consuming it is to integrate a new version of Android into Motorola’s platform.

U.S. set to approve Google, Motorola deal
Google is trying to spend more than $12 billion to buy Motorola and there is some concern that the European Union may have some issues with it but a new report from the Wall Street Journal suggests that the U.S. Justice Department will let the deal go through. We’ll know by Monday if the EU has any beef with the deal and I’d imagine its concerns would revolve around patents and Google’s position in the Android chain. Additionally, the EU has been taking a close look at Google over the … Read more

The DROID RAZR MAXX is obviously selling like hot cupcakes these days with Verizon Wireless at one point listing the popular devices as out of stock (along with the LG Revolution and Motorola DROID X2).

Motorola scores a permanent injunction against Apple’s iCloud in German Court
Motorola has just scored a pretty significant injunction against Apple’s iCloud, as a decision in its favor was handed down by judge Andreas Voss in a German court room. The “permanent injunction” forced the Cupertino-based company to remove most of its products from its German-based online store including the iPhone 3G, the iPhone 3GS, and the iPhone 4 as well as any 3G-enabled iPads. Both companies have been in a patent battle for months, with Motorola getting the best of the iPhone maker so far. Lots of developments have occurred after this initial ruling, so lets … Read more
