Motorola goes a selling spree, announces an array of Droids

As we finish reading Motorola's PR, we tell you about it here. Moto has just announced a bunch of new products. First up is the XYBOARD 8.2. As you can guess, it's an 8.2 inch tablet that looks just like an 8.2 inch Xoom 2. It boasts a 1.2GHz dual core processor, 1GB of RAM and an IPS display. It'll have LTE, but only if you sign a new 2 year agreement. It comes with 16GB and 32GB of on board memory with no slot for more. The next tablet is the same exact tablet, just with a 10.1 inch screen. This one though has a 64GB option. The 16GB 10.1 will run at 529.99, 32GB for 629.99 and the 64GB for 729.99, respectively. Each claim to be 'very thin' and were promised to get the Android 4.0 ICS update. They also each have two cameras, rear one at 5MP and front one at 1.3MP.
The final thing in the PR was a product that we already had was the Droid RAZR. This time though in white. It'll run for 299.99 on a 2 year contract.

All products available this month.
