Motorola has unveiled its T505 portable in-car Bluetooth speakerphone and digital FM transmitter, offering full hands-free compatibility with Bluetooth phones or MP3 players.

Stereo Bluetooth phones, such as the MOTORAZR or MOTOROKR Z6 will allow music and calls to be streamed to the car radio, while users with ordinary Bluetooth phones can use the T505 to make and receive calls over the car stereo.

The T505 features StationFinder technology which announces where the best FM connection can be found on the user’s car radio. When calls come in, the T505 automatically mutes the music and audibly announces the Caller ID.

Super-blurry Motorola photos hint at 8-megapixel 'Skarven' mobile

img style=”margin:5px; float: left;” alt=”blurry-motorola-pics.jpg” src=”https://www.techdigest.tv/blurry-motorola-pics.jpg” width=”263″ height=”260″ />Don’t blame us for these ultra-blurry photos, they were taken by a sneaky journo in a Motorola presentation in Amsterdam, where photo-taking was strictly NOT allowed.

They previewed four new mobiles for next year’s line-up, including ‘Skarven’, (top right) which apparently has 8-megapixels (yes, this is still a mobile phone we’re talking about), optical zoom and a touch-sensitive screen. The three other phones that were proudly shown off by Motorola include the X PIXL (5-megapixels), TEXEL (music-playing handset with multi-layered keypad) and…

Transformed: the robot that's a Motorola ROKR in disguise

Fancy a Motorola ROKR mobile? No? Okay, it’s not the most inspiring handset in the world. What if it could turn into a robot though, eh? Thought that’d get your GeekDrool going.

Check this out. I have no idea who made it, why they did it, or how much it cost. But I do know that I want one – more even than I want an iPod Touch, a crate of organic cider, or a hooky Russian oil billionnaire to fund Bishops Stortford FC. It’s genius.

Shiny Review: Motorola Razr²

razr222.jpg It’s Susi’s designated day to review a piece of gadgetry for your tech-starved eyes, so read on below for her thoughts regarding Motorola’s newest phone, the Razr². Takes me back to maths class with dear Mr. Hampson, having that square root ‘2’. ARGHHH!!! Take it away, Susi…

I’ve already highlighted my disappointment at the name of the Razr², or the Razr 2 as it forever will be known. I shall not bore you again. Luckily, this is one of the only failings of this phone. Let’s start with the important stuff – how pretty it is…

13 tech-related product placements in The Bourne Ultimatum

bourneultimatum5.jpg Last night, whilst all the ‘slebs were walking the red carpet in Leicester Square showing off their designer frocks for the premiere of The Bourne Ultimatum, a few of us lucky Shinies got to go to an advance screening with Motorola at the BAFTA down the road. No fancy dresses for us, we all wore jeans. And boy, were we impressed, and I don’t even LIKE Matt Damon. (Said in Team America-esque voice, obviously).

One thing you’ll notice minutes into the film is the blatant product placement – director Paul Greengrass didn’t even try to hide it. Like the good little Tech Digester that I am, I sat there with a pen and paper and scrawled down every techie product placement I saw in the film, whether used by Jason Bourne himself, CIA agents, hit-men, or just billboards seen in shots. If you noticed any more I’ve missed, definitely leave your comments in the field below…
