Motorola was expected to unveil the new Moto E this week and indeed it has. Today it finally lifted the wraps off of its new smartphone. Right off the bat you will notice two things about this new device. It has a bigger display than its predecessor and happens to have support for 4G LTE. The new smartphone goes on sale today in 40 markets around the world.

The new Moto E from Motorola has a 4.5-inch 540×960 display, a quadcore Snapdragon 410 processor from Qualcomm, 8GB onboard storage, microSD card support, 5 megapixel rear and VGA front camera, and it comes with Android 5.0 Lollipop straight out of the box.

What’s interesting is that this is still the most affordable smartphone in Motorola’s lineup yet it now offers support for 4G LTE. Motorola has also added the Quick Capture feature to this smartphone which will allow users to launch the camera app with just one twist of their wrist. Active Display feature is present as well which wakes up the screen to show notifications even when the phone is pulled out of the pocket.

As far as the design is concerned that aren’t any discernible changes that set the latest and the previous generation Moto E apart. Motorola starts selling the Moto E with LTE today for $149. 3G models will be sold for $119.

There is interesting news for you if you like playing Forza Horizon 2 on Microsoft’s console. It appears that the company has collaborated with the Fast & Furious franchise to develop an expansion of the same name for Forza Horizon 2. A brief video teaser of the expansion appeared online earlier today and it has already been yanked which means that the company is not quite ready to announce this just yet.

The teaser that popped up online earlier today showed a loose interpretation of the scene which plays out when the credits roll in Fast Five, Brian and Dom are seen racing neck and neck on twisty roads.

According to a report by the AP the Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious expansion starts off just before the events of Furious 7 and players will be required to get certain vehicles to Tej, a character played by Ludacris, in France.

Some of the vehicles that players will be required to deliver are those they might already seen in the movies, like the ’70 Cuda, ’98 Supra and the ’70 Road Runner.

If the report is correct this expansion for Forza Horizon 2 will be released on March 27th and it will remain free until Furious 7 is launched on April 3rd, after the movie’s release the expansion will cost $10.

A new rumor making the rounds today claims that on a recent trip to Germany Apple CEO Tim Cook was overheard telling a retail employee that the waterproofing of the Apple Watch has improved since it was unveiled last year, apparently it can even be worn in the shower, when this device was shown off for the first time the company didn’t say if it was waterproof enough to be worn while swimming or taking a shower.

The rumor from iGen.fr claims that Cook was speaking to employees at a retail store in Berlin where he told them that the wears his Apple Watch everywhere, “even in the shower.”

It should be kept in mind though that when the Apple Watch was unveiled last year the company had only said that the device was good for wearing in the rain, getting sweaty during a workout and washing hands. There was no mention of showers or swimming pools.

While it is possible that Apple has tweaked the watch enough that its now good for those tasks as well, one can’t discount the possibility that Cook might simply have been misheard, so we’ll really have to wait until the device arrives to find out just how resistant it is to water.

The Apple Watch will start shipping to customers in April.
