Motorola leaks Xoom 2 and other upcoming products

Moto leaked lineupA site redesign by Motorola yesterday accidentally gave us a sneak peak at the manufacturer’s product lineup. Either someone launched the page a bit too early, or Motorola wants to drive a little interest around these “leaked” devices. Regardless, we’re happy to take a look.

PocketNow first got a hold of the content, but took down the images per Motorola Mobility’s request (which does make the whole thing seem more credible). Luckily, all the photos made the rounds this morning before they disappeared. Here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect to see from Moto in the future.

Xoom 2

Xoom 2Unfortunately the only revelation about this product is that it exists. There’s little more than a glimpse at a corner of the tablet, but it will likely have a subtle redesign to slim down the device.

Slimline and Zaha

Slimline and ZahaThe Slimline’s tag line is “Thin is still in,” a possible homage to the now-defunct Razr. The image shows a sleek, buttonless smartphone – although we’d guess this is the back of the device and the lens above is the camera as it doesn’t look like it’s a flip phone. The Zaha looks to be your more traditional smartphone. The image shows off what is likely a touchscreen and the tagline suggests some fancy new technology will be part of the phone.

Targa and PearlThere’s also mention of two devices (we’d assume phones) called Targa (top arrow) and Pearl, but the available images were miniscule and revealed little to no details. Previous rumors have said the Targa will be a Verizon LTE smartphone.

Tracy XL

Tracy XLThis easily wins the title of most unexpected product from Motorola. It’s a futuristic timepiece that plays off the Dick Tracy watchphone. All of the other leaked products were Android devices, so the Tracy XL likely has more capabilities than the average wristwatch. Your guess is as good as ours, but our of pure speculation we think the Tracy XL will have most of the features of the average smartphone sans the processing power and storage.

Motorola and Verizon finally offer Xoom owners promised 4G LTE upgrade

From the moment the Motorola Xoom was announced in January, we were told that it would launch with 3G support on Verizon, but would be upgradeable to 4G shortly after launch. Then we were told it would come by summer time, then by the end of summer, and so on. It is now almost October and more than seven months after its release, Xoom owners may finally get their 4G LTE upgrade.

Beginning today (Thursday), Xoom owners should receive emails from Motorola and Verizon about upgrading their 3G tablet to LTE. There should be no charge for this upgrade, but users will have to send in their Xoom to Motorola, which will install a new receiver and return it within about a week. The company recommends you back up your data.

Leaked pictures: Motorola Xoom 2 tablets and the Droid RAZR
leaked pictures motorola xoom 2 tablets and the droid razr pics front page

Motorola is gearing up for some new device launches. We've got leaked pictures of the return of the RAZR and the manufacturer's second stab at the Xoom.
Droid RAZR
Motorola may be preparing to resurrect its iconic, faded RAZR brand, sort of. Over the weekend, The Verge posted some new leaked screens of the upcoming Motorola phone, which appears to be a renaming of the Droid HD, which was first spotted back in August. Here are the latest rumored specs for the upcoming Verizon phone: 4G LTE connectivity, a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8MP camera with 1080p video recording, an "HD" front-facing camera, and, of course, Motorola's usual Webtop enhancements. So...does it look like a RAZR phone? To us, we can see some small similarities, but the RAZR succeeded because it was different from every other phone on the market. This Droid RAZR looks so similar to every other Android phone that an average consumer may not even know that it's a RAZR until they're told. Hopefully there is something more moving about this phone. More on the new RAZR as we hear about it.
Xoom 2 tablet(s)
The Xoom has not performed as well as Motorola predicted, but the company will continue the brand. Engadget has snagged some leaked shots of two Motorola Xoom 2 tablets. From the looks of it, Motorola has taken a cue from Samsung and will introduce a slightly smaller 8.9-inch Xoom 2 as well.

Though we're not huge fans of the coloring on the back (it looks like a kids Walkie Talkie), the new Xooms may be about as thick as the 9.3mm iPhone 4. The units currently run on Android 3.2, have 5MP "HD" rear cameras, and will both run 4G LTE on Verizon. Not bad, right? Let's hope they clean up the design.

Motorola posts first quarter numbers: Shipped 250,000 Xoom tablets

After various reports claiming that Motorola's Xoom sales were disappointing, it’s not surprise that its first quarter numbers are less than impressive. According to the Motorola Mobility’s financial statement, it shipped only 250,000 Xoom tablets.  While these numbers outdo the depressingly low estimate of 100,000 units shipped that Deutsche Bank analysts predicted at the beginning of April, they aren’t anything to get excited about.

The Xoom has had the cards stacked against it from the start. The extremely expensive tablet launched before it had integrated 4G or fully supported Flash, which were supposed to set it apart from the competition – most notably, the iPad and iPad 2. It doesn’t seem fair to compare, but context seems necessary:
