It’s really okay if you can’t keep track of Motorola‘s many flavors of Droid phone anymore. Four have been released this year alone: the Droid X2, Droid 3, Droid Bionic and Droid RAZR. Get ready to add a fifth to the pile too, as the Droid 4 has been revealed, detailed and tentatively dated for a late 2011 release.

The news comes by way of leaked info and specs obtained by Droid Life. It looks like the plan right now is to release the Droid 4 on Verizon on December 8, though consider that nothing more than a rumor until the company officially confirms it.

The device itself is very much real, however, as you can see in the images above. It’s like a mash-up of the Droid 3 and the RAZR, with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, a 4-inch screen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. There’s one notable difference, however, and it’s the one that Droid fans have been waiting for: 4G connectivity. The Droid brings you your data at a blazing fast rate thanks to its ability to make use of Verizon’s 4G LTE network. Stay tuned for further details, like price and a confirmed release date, once the official announcements roll in.

If you've been thinking about getting the iPad Pro with cellular connectivity but you've been hoping to buy the tablet from iPad deals for a discount, this may be what you've been waiting for -- a 32% discount from Amazon's Woot on the 12.9-inch, Wi-Fi + Cellular model of the 2021 Apple iPad Pro with 128GB of storage. From $1,199, it's down to just $810, which is a steal price for this device with savings of $389. However, while there are still several days left on this offer, it's highly recommended that you proceed with the purchase immediately because there's a chance that stocks don't last that long.

Why you should buy the 2021 Apple iPad Pro 12.9
It's not the latest version of Apple's top-of-the-line tablet -- the honor goes to the 2022 Apple iPad Pro -- but the 2021 Apple iPad Pro is still a pretty powerful device by today's standards. That's because it's equipped with Apple's M1 chip, which promises fantastic speed and excellent graphics when you're working on your multimedia projects, multitasking between several apps, or playing console-level games. With its 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR touchscreen, you'll enjoy high-brightness and high-contrast content, and its mini-LED display provides deeper black levels and more vibrant colors.
