What is wrong with people and their blurry-ass photos? Gizmodo's number one tipster, Shakes the Clown. I expected this back in 2006 but we have better cameras now, wtf.
This thing looks awesome I can't wait to see a better picture/real thing.
Took me forever when this broke on other sites to figure out whats going on with the keyboard. In fact if someone at BGR hadn't posted it I would have never figured it out.
The keyboard is the back of the phone. Thats why you've got the camera on the "front" in this view (see bottom left, 5.0 megapixels). Its so simple but makes so much sense. The Env and all those other flip QWERTYs always seemed stupid because you waste space by having to have 2 screens. Something like the Env touch made even less sense because you lose the big nice touchscreen when typing and get the little crappy interior screen. All gone now plus I imagine its going to allow for the phone to be thinner and sturdier.
What I really want to see is if the buttons on the back retain any of their functionality when closed. Again, its something that makes soooo much sense I'm amazed that Moto is the first one doing it. I mean obviously there would be things that you'd have to work around if the buttons on the back worked but if they could figure out a way to keep things like physical navigation buttons and still retain a sleek clean front I'd say its a win. Seems like it would be pretty easy to get used to.
Haven't people figured out yet that this whole "apple tablet" rumor mill is just a ploy on Apple's part to keep Microsoft busy and distracted while Apple finishes up some other top secret project?
@unique172: If you look really deep into my posts, you see me predict them using Qi screens months ago. It'd really be the smartest move, I think. The screen would cost THEM $500, accounting for THIRTY PERCENT of the costs? If they are going to project a cost anywhere close to that, it'd BETTER be running a full version of OS X. Otherwise, anything at $500+ is simply overpriced for a giant iPod Touch.
@ovil200: I remember someone (you?) saying that, but haven't heard any real news. I agree about the price. I doubt anyone will buy a $1000+ version of the touch, even if it IS shiny.
@unique172: What the heck is that $1000 price tag. Sorry it's just not practical in this time of recession. I'll do my ebook reading and iTunes music with my cheap 10.1 inch Asus 1005HA. It does the same stuff plus more.
@rjbuddyboi: Nobody knows the price; I was saying that I doubt anyone would pay that much. But judging by the non-contract price of the iPhone, I doubt the tablet will be cheap. I'd be very surprised if it was less than $500-600. I have a netbook too, but if it came with a reflective, low-power sunlight readable display I'd be very tempted. Hell, if any real device (that allowed internet access, keyboard input, etc) came with that display, I'd probably drop some $$.
Who cares about reasons for a supposed delay - it could be due to a global shortage of pixie dust for all it matters since we are spreading rumors of rumors about a rumored device that is rumored to be available some rumored day. Come on - tell us the sucker is fission powered and they have to get approval from the nuclear regulatory body before Miley Cyrus will write the start-up song and Buddha waves an arm and it sits in every humans lap of life.

Neat new interface. The tabs make it much more convenient than different URLs entirely.

Header aside, it is kinda bing-ish...just a tad. Also: angles making a comeback?
