Motorola Motus: ancora rumors

 Arrivano nuovi dettagli per il Motorola Motus uno dei prossimi terminali Android che il colosso americano commercializzerà a partire dal 2010. Per il momento non ci sono notizie relative ad una commercializzazione europea, il terminale quasi sicuramente verrà inserito nel listino dell’ operatore americano AT & T.

Le nuove indiscrezioni confermano le voce arrivate fino. Ecco i dettagli riporatati da Engadget Mobile:

  • Sure enough, the keyboard flips backwards so that it’s facing out when the phone is “closed.” When it’s open, the underside of the keyboard has a trackpad that allows you to scroll the screen while typing with your thumbs (it’s unclear how well this’ll actually work in practice). There’s also a third hinge position that keeps the phone upright — perfect for use as a video display or alarm clock.
  • There’s a 5 megapixel cam and LED flash mounted on the keyboard (notice that white spot in the lower left?) designed to be used as a webcam, but we don’t know whether this’ll function as a traditional 3G video call (we’d doubt it) or over some other service.
  • It runs Blur. If you like Blur, congrats; if you hate it, our condolences.
  • The keys are backlit and said to be “domed” — that’s not really conveyed in this spy shot we’ve seen, but it’s hard to say for sure.
  • It’s said to be about three-quarters of an inch thick, “enough to be bulky in your pocket.”
  • Our tipster says he thinks he was told it runs Snapdragon, which would run counter to our current intel that has it running the CLIQ’s 528MHz MSM7201A. At any rate, he says it “seemed very responsive,” which is a good sign.

Come possiamo notare la vera novità del terminale è costituita dal sistema di apertura della tastiera, completamente progettato da Motorola, per il resto non sembrerebbe nulla di eccezionale.
