Xoom 2 and other devices leaked by motorola.

Xoom 2

It's a constant truth of technology, it moves fast. So it really shouldn't come as a surprise to me that the Xoom 2 may be in the works while I'm still considering purchasing the original. Or that a new Nexus device is rumored to drop later this year. Right when i'm ready to settle for a G2x to replace my Nexus One.

Earlier this month Motorola 'inadvertently' leaked images of a number of it's future devices from it's mobility site redesign. Pocketnow.com was quick on the gun and able to grab some screen shots.  Among them the Slimeline and Zaha handsets, a watch phone named the Tracy XL, the Motorola Xoom 2, the Motorola Pearl and the LTE enabled Motorola Targa.

Motorola Tracy XL

I can't help but wonder how the Tracy XL will compare to the android powered watch that we talked about last week. I even included a Dick Tracy joke back in that post. Check it out.

Android powered watch. Very cool.

"The most common operating system in the world with performances never seen before on such a small device. Intuitive interface, rock-solid stability and amazing functionalities.The operating system is the heart of i’mWatch. A surprising result that will leave you lost for words.It only takes a few steps to learn how to use it: it is simple and intuitive. Just touch, drag, swipe or pinch to use all the functionalities or open any of the apps, preinstalled or downloadable from i’mstore."

This android powered watch packs a punch and puts your other nerd swag to shame.  This little droid buddy isn't just a stand alone it connects to your smartphone (Android, iPhone, and Blackberry) through bluetooth. Similar products have been produced in the past but they were fairly basic.  The i'mWatch appears to offer two distinct lines; "i'm Color" and "i'm Jewel"  The Color line being the bright and vibrantly colored models (above) and the Jeweled being the somewhat more sophisticated and stylish models featuring metal accents (below)

Running a ARM9 processor with 64MB of RAM and 4GB of storage. Unfortunately even though this gadget makes me want to start wearing a watch again; This device is not cheap it will cost about $360 US. And that price is only set through to June 30th.  i'mWatch.


Dick Tracy wishes his watch was this cool.
