Motorola Releases “Unhinged” XOOM Commercial

by: | posted 02.25.11 | News, Videos

Yesterday we went inside the spaceship through the “Vendetta” commercial for the Motorola XOOM and today, Moto is talking about how it could potentially replace your laptop.  Not sure if I’d go that far yet, but after having it for 2 days now, I can say that it has “WIN!” written all over it.  

Motorola XOOM “Vendetta” Commercial is Only Missing the Word “DROID”

by: | posted 02.24.11 | News, Videos

The full XOOM commercial is now available on Verizon’s YouTube channel and you’ll notice right away that this thing probably had the “DROOOOID” sound bite at the end, but for whatever reason was pulled last minute.  We had heard all along that this would be DROID-branded and this commercial speaks to that and also makes us very sad.  We love our DROID brand and this would have been the perfect addition to the best lineup of Android phones around.  And enough of my complaining; check out the new spot after the break.  

Verizon Releases New Motorola XOOM Ad, Weird Spaceship Transformation Included

If the Thunderbolt ad from this morning wasn’t enough, then check out the new Motorola XOOM spot that just went live.  It’s a shortie at only 16 seconds, but it easily crushes that silly Super Bowl spot.

Oh, and we’ll try not to point out the ironic fact that the video below is only viewable if you have Flash which we know is lacking from the world’s first Honeycomb tablet.  Enjoy.  

Verizon Announces HTC Thunderbolt in New Commercial Without a Date (Updated)

by: | posted 02.21.11 | News, Videos

A new HTC Thunderbolt commercial just popped up on Verizon’s YouTube channel as Verizon’s announcement for the device.  While no date was given, you have to assume it’ll be coming any day now or they would have at least slapped a “coming soon” tag onto the end.  Maybe they have a dual-marketing plan hashed out for the XOOM and TBolt for this Thursday?

Update:  At some point in the night, Verizon removed the original spot and replaced it with one that says “Coming Soon” at the end.  We have that version below.   

DROID X Makes Lengthy “Lie to Me” Appearance

by: | posted 02.01.11 | Appearances, News

It has been a while since a DROID family member made any sort of new appearance, but last night on Fox’s Lie to Me, we were treated to almost  two full minutes of DROID X action.  I’m not about to admit to know what’s going on, but will instead refer you to Hulu to watch for yourselves.

Oh, and one more pic after the break.  

Motorola XOOM Super Bowl Ad is Live (Updated)

by: | posted 01.31.11 | News, Videos

Did the Super Bowl ad for the Motorola XOOM just pop up on YouTube?  It sure looks that way.  The ad is as expected, directed at the iPad and how it’s time for people to have choices.  Specs are splashed across the screen and a slogan of “It’s time to live a free life” is introduced, but no actual pictures of the XOOM can be found.  I’m actually not a fan of the ad, but we’re thinking it’ll be in 3D if shown at the Super Bowl.  It has all of those in-your-face flying graphics to appeal to the new wave of television viewers, but still, we better see more on game day than this.

Update:  We should point out that this is likely just a teaser and not the ad we’ll see on Sunday.

Oh and maybe we just missed this, but the XOOM’s site seems to be extra spicy these days.   

DROID 2 Makes Rhapsody Appearance, DROID X at Video Game Awards

The Droid 2 is featured in a new Rhapsody commercial called “Awesomer” that actually is awesome.  The commercial is flat out silly, but when anyone uses the word “awesome” while referring to a Droid family member and then follows that up with the word “awesomer”, you’ve hooked us.  We enjoy simple fun and this commercial is just that.  Wait, does anyone use Rhapsody?
