The Motorola Moto 360 gets the leaked press render treatment in two Colours



Motorola Moto 360Despite Google’s release of a dedicated smartwatch operating system (Android Wear) and two watches that utilize it (Samsung Gear Live and LG G Watch), many Android enthusiasts only have one watch on their minds: the Motorola Moto 360. Maybe it’s the round face, maybe we’re all enthralled by Motorola’s decisions these days; whatever it is, the Moto 360 seems to have captured what most of us have been waiting for in a smartwatch. And today, we get a nice look at it courtesy of Mr. @evleaks, who leaked press renders of the Moto 360 from various angles.

There’s nothing hugely groundbreaking about these images, as we’ve already gotten a very good look at the device through trailers and what not, but it’s a thing of beauty, and a few more pictures really couldn’t hurt. If you look at @evleaks’ original post, you will see the renders posted in pairs with slightly different colours; one appears to be more aluminium, the other a more gunmetal/graphite colour. Unfortunately, @evleaks wasn’t able to elaborate on any more details nor a release date besides the general target of 2014.


What do you think about the Motorola Moto 360 being offered in aluminium or gunmetal/graphite? Which would you pick? Let us know your pick in the comments.

‘Google Workshop’ may be Google’s Moto Maker for Nexus Devices



Google WorkshopWhen Motorola launched its Moto Maker site, it received a generally good reception; as it turns out, people do like customizing their devices. Other manufacturers have slowly started to roll out services that partially resemble Motorola’s effort to give their customers that little bit more customization, and it looks like everybody’s favourite company, Google, might just be looking to do the same for its Nexus devices with something called ‘Google Workshop‘.

Android Police dropped the exclusive, saying that Workshop in its current state only caters for the Nexus 5, as an experiment, and offers customization options for custom cases and live wallpapers. And apparently, it looks like this:

There appear to be two main options to customize your Nexus 5: MapMe and Moments. MapMe gives you the ability to adorn your custom case and live wallpaper with a chosen location, and can be further customized to incorporate some sentimental info, like your hometown. The colour of the case and wallpaper can be set as well, with the live wallpaper getting further customization options, like receiving weather and social media info for the chosen location. Similarly, Moments allows you to customize your custom case and live wallpaper with uploaded photos and edit them as appropriate (read: filters).


It’s definitely something different from Google, and with their pre-existing colour choices, Nexus 5 owners would have quite a few customization options available to them. The jury’s still out whether this service would extend to Google’s other Nexus devices, and there are no further details on pricing or availability yet.

What do you think about Google Workshop? Is this something you would like to make use of? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
