http://www.talkandroid.com – Interesting news coming from the Motorola camp as they are now offering their Xyboard tablets with nano-coating technology. The good news is that is means the Wi-Fi only tablets are now water-resistant, allowing users to simply wipe off spills in case of an accident. The bad news is that this doesn’t apply to the 4G laden Verizon models, and no, Moto isn’t going to upgrade them either. So if you already bought a Xyboard from Verizon, you are just going to need to remain being careful with your device around liquids. Kind of a lame move on Motorola’s part, it would’ve b (IT news)

Stories similar to Motorola Now Selling Water Repellent Wi-Fi Only Xyboard Tablets (Update: they were splash proof all along)

Good news is always welcomed and it’s always a little sweeter when received on a Monday.

“What could be better than winning a DROID XYBOARD by Motorola 8.2 Tablet? Winning TWO!” That’s right folks, that’s how Verizon has started its announcement regarding your chance to win not just one, but two XYBOARD 8.2-Inch Tablets. All you have to do is complete the entry form and then share the sweepstakes on either Facebook or Twitter.

Just about anybody that has had a Motorola Android device will say that updates get delayed quite often. Look at the DROID RAZR for example. The infamous 4.0 ICS update was pushed back for months, leaving consumers anxious to receive some “tender, love, and care.” Owners of the XYBOARD devices haven’t see too many updates besides 4.0 for Wi-Fi-only models.

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I have a request.

I recently bought the Motorola Wireless Keyboard with Trackpad, initially intended to work with the Xyboard and, I believe, the RAZR. I'm using it with my One X.

However, certain features of the keyboard are exclusive to Moto devices only, such as two finger scrolling and pinch to zoom.

Motorola Mobility's Droid Xyboard 10.1 tablet brings the iPad some solid competition thanks to its Android 3.2 Honeycomb operating system, thin profile, HD display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, and compatiblity with Verizon's 4G LTE network. Yet, Motorola should take the hardware button design and new stylus option back to the drawing board, this eWEEK review adds....

In the no shocker news for today, Motorola and Google has put an end to Webtop’s misery. Motorola has either announced or released a few phones lately, and you never heard a word about Webtop or the Lapdocks. Verizon is actually unloading the Lapdock 100′s for $50. Some people actually think the latest version (3.0) was pretty good, but I have to be honest, I never used it.

A couple of days ago, our own Stacy Bruce reported that the DROID XYBOARD had been rooted. Now, apparently, the developer of this root method, which he calls “Motofail”, is stating that this same exploit works on all current Motorola devices running Gingerbread or Honeycomb. The Droid 4 root (“Motofail”) should work on all Gingerbread Motorola devices that I know of.

Title says it all. I have a year or so old Droid Razr Maxx in MINT condition and a XYboard 10.1 Tablet, both on Verizon that I would like to trade for an iPhone 5. Looking for the iPhone to be black in color and 16 or 32GB. Don't need 64GB. Looking to make the jump to iOS to make things easier with the rest of the family.

  It’s no secret that Verizon has major intentions to bring its FIOS service to Android devices. We first had a glimpse of this notion when Verizon announced its FIOS app for smartphones and tablets. Then we saw the always Verizon-friendly brand Motorola try to sneak out an Android TV tablet for TV rooms.
