Motorola is stepping up its game in the smartphone field. We've gotten some clues as to what the Nexus 5 and or Motorola X will be like from Google and Motorola executives.
"Motorola and Google have a new set of products, which are phenomenal--think of it as phone-plus," noted Eric Schmidt that will be coming "sooner rather than later."
It seems like the folks at Motorola can't help but test new devices before they are released and give them all kinds of mysterious code names such as Motorola X, Ghost, Yeti, Sasquatch and Nexus...
The latest round of leaked Motorola smartphone names are not as exciting as the divinely endowed Motorola X aka Nexus 5 with the power and perks to keep fans salivating until Google I/O. The names, however, don't have to belong to the X Files or helped by X-Men, they can be found out in woods or in the attic.
As Motorola employees are getting pink slips, there have been a few slips as to what pure Google will supposedly be like from Motorola in the Nexus tradition dubbed the Motorola NXT. The device appears to be almost as dreamy as the imagined Motorola X and could be more powerful than the Nexus 5 or Samsung Galaxy S4.
The Motorola X logo with blurry graphics showing "NXT "turned out to be fake noted PhoneArena that also hoped to see "some leaked images of the Motorola X from authentic sources."
The conjecturatti and bogusazzi contended that the "NXT" name was a combination of Nexus and X Phone.
The Nexus 4 is continually selling out making people wonder what will the Nexus 5 be like? We've rounded-up some clues, news and optimistic views.
According to a Google executive, Vic Gundra on his Google + account the next Nexus will have "insanely great" cameras While packing for a trip Gundra pondered whether he should bring his DSLR camera and took it with him. A commenter asked him about cameras in the next Nexus. It appears the number one use for smartphones and cell phones for that matter is to take photographs.
Whoops, human resources can't keep a secret at Motorola. A job listing on Linkedin let slip a position in Sunnyvale for Sr. Director Product Management, X-Phone confirming the Motorola is working on something int he future called the X-Phone. We'll need the X-Men to find our more about the specs of the Android smartphone though.
The headline of the job offering that has now been pulled is "Next Generation SmartPhone Platform," discovered by Phandroid.
Ahah! So X-Phone may not be a name of a phone but a whole platform like Windows Phone.
While the sales of the Nexus 4 is red hot, so hot you can't get your hands on one without a contract, a new excuse emerged today from Larry Page. There were also unsubstantiated non-credited and denied Motorola X Phone rumors to put into the bogus pocus focus.
During the Google conference call, Page talked about the future of the Nexus and Nexus woes.
Page noted that "there is work to be done managing our supply better… and that is priority for the teams.” Previously, a French Google exec said that Google had underestimated demand.
Motorola has updated its Android software update page. After excluding the Motorola Atrix 4G, earlier this year, they have updated some details of the planned Android updates for the end of this year and beyond.
The first good news is that the Motorla Atrix HD rollout to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean will begin in December of this year. Popular Verizon Wireless models to that will be upgraded to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean will be the Droid RAZR, Droid RAZR/MAXX, Droid 4 and Droid Bionic.

Motorola has announced a developer edition of the Atrix HD.
The Atrix HD will be a supported device in the Bootloader Unlock program. It has the same features and specs as the Atrix HD but allows the customization offered by an unlockable bootloader.
The demise of the Webtop and whole docking system for high-end Motorola smartphones is now official. It is also very irritating to those who bought laptop dock, lapdocks and other docks from Motorola for earlier devices.
Last week customers learned that Motorola would not update the Motorola Photon (Fauxton), Motorola Atrix (Mo’ Accessories Up Ur A-Tricks 4G) and Motorola Electrify(Electric-Foe) to Android 4.o4 Ice Cream Sandwich causing outrage in owners who spend hundreds of dollars for lapdocks and other accessories.
