Nexus Two on its Way – Hello Moto!

by Jay Garrett on January 30, 2010

There’s been rumours of a Nexus Two almost as soon as the Nexus One hit the blogosphere and it seems that Moto may be its maker.

The next Nexus could be a business model Google phone and Motorola’s CEO has confirmed that they would be delivering a phone to sell through the new Google Store.

Sanjay Jha reiterated Motorola’s ambition to launch 20 smartphones in 2010, of which one will be “one direct to consumer device with Google.”

All that when pieced with Motorola’s ‘secret project’, the covert operationally named ‘Shadow’, could end up being the Nexus Two.

Getting Motorola to build the next Google Store offering makes sense now as the mobile cobbler has since proved itself worthy with its latest Android blowers – especially with the Milestone (Droid).

Word on the interweblogosphere reckons that a Motorola built Googlephone should appear in the first half of 2010.

Will it take the shine off iPhone 4G?

Mewbox – On the Go Music Downloads on Android

by Jay Garrett on December 4, 2009

mewboxMewbox – not a new dry cat food or a mash-up of Robbie Williams’ failed 2006 album and a Danish alternative rock band.

Mewbox is actually a new music download service that originally launched with the Archos 5 Android slate but has now gone live for all Android phones.

This means that whether you’re going to be rocking the new Milestone in a few days or have a loving relationship with the T-Mobile G1 – you’ll be able to download choonz to keep whilst you’re out-and-about for the very first time.

The Mewbox site looks pretty straightforward and not in the least confusing (more than I can say for the Myspace Music site).

There’s also a blog which reports news about the software as well as top track picks.

If you haven’t got an Android powered handheld it may be still worth your while to pootle across to Mewbox as it’s offering a free download (89MB) of some of its favourite songs to keep for anyone!

Now, if you’ve an iPhone you’ll think that this has always been the way as we’ve been able to download from iTunes from day 1. Even the Crackberry has been able to get music on the move thanks to 7digital.

Talking ’bout 7digital – this is who’s behind Mewbox. This should mean that Android users will have access to around 4 million tracks.

Mewbox is out now for any European Android owners, but it’s not on the Android Market – all you have to do is download from the Mewbox homepage here.

When the Cupcake update for the G1 Googlephone was announced T-mobile also kinda mentioned a new Android handset without giving any real details. Now, I reckon that it’s safe to assume that the particular beast in question is the T-Mobile G1 Bigfoot, discovered in leaked documents by TmoToday. The phone is also going under the title of G1 v.2 [...]
