Yesterday’s Google breakfast with Sundar Pichai was a doozy. The new Nexus 7, Android 4.3, and Chromecast were all announced. In case you missed the hour-long event, you can play it back in full on YouTube.
After Google unveiled the Chromecast earlier today, it sold out in minutes on the Play Store. The $35 dongle just became available for sale on Amazon, and it’s Prime-eligible, which is a nice plus.
Snag one (or more) of these fast before they sell out again. Google is bundling three free months of Netflix with each purchase, so it basically pays for itself. Chromecast streams video, music, photos, and more from any iOS, Android, or PC device running the Chrome browser to a HDTV over HDMI.
Samsung has announced that it will be holding a full-blown developer conference for the first time this fall. The Samsung Developers Conference will be held October 27th-29th in San Francisco, and attendees will learn about new “Samsung tools and SDKs.”
At this point, there’s little we don’t know about the Moto X. Numerous leaks have revealed what the device will look like, and Google’s Eric Schmidt was even spotted using the phone in public.
Now the first press renders for the Moto X have been leaked. The shots match up with previous leaks and other promotional materials from Motorola.
The flagship Android handset will be announced on August 1st and ship later in the month. Motorola is touting that the Moto X is being assembled in the U.S., and rumors say the device’s ‘wow factor‘ will be smart sensors that are aware of the user’s environment.
What’s in her hand?!?
Motorla has begun sending out invitations for its official Moto X unveiling on August 1st at a media event in New York City. The flagship Android phone has been rumored to launch in August, and yesterday Motorola tweeted a picture of the device being assembled at a plant in Texas. Print ads for the Moto X have already been in circulation, and multiple leaks have revealed specific details about the highly anticipated device.
Multiple leaks have indicated that the Moto X won’t actually ship to customers until the last week of August. We expect Motorola to announce pre-orders after the unveiling and then start shipping from various carriers as the weeks progress.
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt has been seen using the Moto X in the wild, and a leaked promotional video from Rogers, a Canadian carrier, recently showed off several key features in the new device.
