Motorola Tao (Sholes) live photos, Android obviously included
Verizon’s Android-powered Motorola Tao (also known as Motorola Sholes) has recently appeared in a set of live photos, which means that it might be officially announced soon.
Spotted over at Howard Forums, the Motorola Tao is presented as being bigger than the LG Dare, although it’s quite slim. The handset’s case is made out of metal, and its hardware QWERTY keyboard is, apparently, “like a HTC one.”
The rumored features of Tao / Sholes include Android 2.0, 3.7 inch touchscreen display with 854 x 480 pixels, 3.5mm headset jack and a 5MP camera (the camera is confirmed by one of the photos below).




Regardless of its name, a new Moto Android smartphone will definitely be announced soon, since Motorola said so when it unveiled the Motorola Cliq / Dext. Let’s hope the device will be as awesome as it seems to be at the moment.

Motorola Ruby lives, now it’s called V13
Remember the Motorola Ruby clamshell, first rumored to be canceled and then reappeared in some press photos? Well, it looks like the phone will be released by Moto after all, under the name of Motorola V13 (not VE1, as previously believed).
The Ruby / V13 has been approved by the Bluetooth SIG yesterday, which means that Moto did not cancel it.
The specs listed by the Bluetooth SIG coincide with the ones we knew about, including: 2.2 inch QVGA internal display, 2 inch QVGA external touchscreen display, CDMA/Ev-Do connectivity, Bluetooth and 5MP camera with autofocus and flash.
Unfortunately, we still don’t know when the Ruby / V13 will be officially announced.

Another Moto phone recently approved by the Bluetooth SIG is the Motorola E11, which will be a dual-SIM touchscreen handset.
