Sometimes video gaming headlines can be so challenging to sort out and break down.  Here’s this week’s totally serious attempt to do so.  Totally serious.  Really.  Even without using “unnamed sources” and stuff.

OnLive has just dropped a press release announcing new mobile apps for Android, iPhone, and iPad that will effectively bring their “console-class” cloud gaming experience to over 500 million mobile devices in the UK and US.

You’re probably already familiar with OnLive’s game streaming service previously only available to Macs, PCs, or a dedicated OnLive console.

However, while most of the 200 games in their library will be playable on mobile devices via a wireless controller, 25 of those titles have also been ported with touchscreen controls.

Motorola just took the wraps off the newest RAZR, dubbed the Droid RAZR (Motorola RAZR outside the US) that we first got a look at through a series of teasers in the past weeks. The device sports a 960 x 540 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display, 1.2 GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, microSD, 8-megapixel camera (1080p video capture), and 1.3-megapixel front-facing cam. The device also packs in a 1780mAh battery which the company claims will provide you with 12.5 hours talk time and 8.9 hours video playback.

As expected it will come with Android Gingerbread, but execs are quick to note it will get Ice Cream Sandwich when Google finally makes it available. It will also support Motorola’s own webtop platform, be capable of downloading HD Netflix vids, and of course, run on Verizon’s 4G LTE network.

As for the physical design, expect that kevlar backside spotted earlier in the week, Corning Gorilla glass, and kevlar and aluminum accents throughout. Continue reading “Motorola unveils the 4G LTE Droid RAZR on Verizon” »
