Google Now on the DROID RAZR MAXX HD by Motorola: Get more out of your life

February 1, 2013 : BY Motorola

There is a lot of clutter and useless information in our daily lives that we try to avoid to stay on track. Luckily, with Google Now available on Android™ 4.1 Jelly Bean on your DROID RAZR MAXX HD by Motorola, you can get your to-do lists done with voice notes sent to your gmail inbox. Simply touch the microphone icon and say for example “note: get sour cream, wine and dessert” and you will have an email with your list.

Using your free Gmail account, you can also keep track of everything from flight arrivals and departures to event reminders with directions, package deliveries and restaurant reservations. If you feel like being an explorer in your home town or while away, Google Now can pull up spots nearby that are great photo opportunities, restaurants and pubs, events and lots of fun activities, usually within walking distance or a short cab ride away.

With public alerts, you can be aware of advisories for your location from the National Weather Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and similar services. And although you’re out and about, you’ll have your latest news like stock quotes, sports scores and breaking stories, which can all be brought to you screen when you open Google Now. With the Activity summary card, you can see a rough approximation of how far you walked or cycled during the past month.

These and many more features let you work hard and play hard, without adding more clutter in your life. If you’re not familiar with how it works, check out this Google Now video and the screenshots below.

DROID RAZR M by Motorola: Now available in Pink

January 24, 2013 : BY Motorola

We’d like to think you’d buy the DROID RAZR M by Motorola for the 4.3-inch screen on a vibrant, high-resolution Super AMOLED Advanced display. Or perhaps you’d buy it for the premium materials like an aircraft-grade aluminum frame surrounding the edge-to-edge display made of Corning® Gorilla® Glass to deflect both scratches and scrapes and a back made strong with advanced composite materials such as KEVLAR®. Or maybe even the water-repellent nanocoating protecting your phone—including the electrical boards inside, from spilled coffee, rain and other wet situations.

But if you want to buy it just because it comes in pink, we’re ok with that too. The DROID RAZR M by Motorola is now available in pink on Motorola.com
