Thanks to Chinese website
Androidin.net we now have full blown pictures of the
Motorola Sholes Tablet we have
seen two days ago. Contrary to what we thought the device only sports a 5Mpix camre (8Mpix was the rumor). The design doesn’t really look atractive (thankfully the specs are great).

The long rumored Motorola Sholes Tablet is just around the corner if the picture above is to be believed. The device seems to feature an HDMI port to output videos to an HDTV. The Sholes tablet is supposedly a Motorola Droid withouth the keyboard but a 8Mpix camera that can capture 720p videos (compared to the 5mpix on the Droid). The Chipset is rumored to be the same TI OMAP3430 clocked at 550Mhz.

The misterious Motorola Motus handset that passed the FCC certification a few days ago is looking more & more like the Motorola Cliq. According to BGR the specs of the device are the following:
-Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
-Tri-band 7.2Mbps HSDPA (850, 1900, 2100MHz)
-5 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash
-256MB RAM
-aGPS
-Wi-Fi
-3.1? capacitive 480×320 display
-Bluetooth 2.0
-Weight: 133g
-1400mAh battery
-microSD slot
-Qualcomm MSM 7201A CPU
-MOTOBLUR
One has to wonder if the Motus isn’t just the AT&T version of the Motorola CLIQ / Dext ?

The Motorola Motus just passed the FCC, according to rumors the device is supposedly a refreshed Motorola CLIQ. The fact that the Motus really exist makes us believe that the rumored Sholes Tablet (a Motorola Droid with a bigger 8Mpix camera and 720p video recording) is indeed true.
