Is "Motorola Shadow" Google "Nexus Two"?
Look at this image, its bearing an striking similarity to Motorola Droid or what Europeans call Milestone. The only difference spotted is the white keyboard and wrist strap. Even more interesting is the assertion that this could be Google’s next flagship device, here lovingly dubbed the Nexus Two. Some are calling it Motorola Shadow, the next Android flagship device from Motorola, we wrote about its alleged leak about a few days ago.
Well, we are not quiet sure about all of this, Android lovers are keeping their fingers crossed after Andy Rubin remarked that Google is working on the enterprise edition of Nexus One, which will be sporting QWERTY keyboard.
After giving HTC, the pleasure to work on its first branded device, the search engine giant might be looking to give Motorola a chance to work for its part two. Very interesting indeed on the part of Google.
So lets wait for more details about Motorola Shadow or may be Nexus Two. I am leaving you with another image of this device.

"Motorola LaJolla" to beat "HTC Tattoo" in Budget Android category
Translating to “The Jewel” in Spanish, Motorola’s leaked La Jolla sounds like it will leave behind HTC Tattoo in the cheapest phone arena. Finally phone manufacturers are gearing up to tap the mass market capabilities of Android.
Android and Me found several references to the LaJolla (as well as the Zeppelin and Motus) in the source code for the Cliq. They’ve been able to dig some specs out of the code; a 528 MHz ARM11 processor, MAX7359 keyboard, Kionix 3-axis accelerometer driver.
Thanks to the newly-released Android 2.0.1 SDK, manufacturers are now able to use differently-sized screens, like the 240 x 400 resolution WQVGA the La Jolla supposedly has.
With its small screen, the LaJolla could be one of these $150-250 devices that Motorola has been alluding to. Current Android phones from Motorola are priced at $399 (CLIQ) and $559 (Droid).
