This afternoon invites have been sent out from Motorola for an event with no secret to is content: Moto X. This event will be taking place on August 1st and – believe it or not – it has no set timeframe. Instead it would appear that this pre-event registration has the press making certain they’re set for the day well before the public press event is announced.
This device has been chattered about for months, and over the past several weeks – then days, we’ve been seeing an exponential number of details centering around a public showing by none other than Google’s own Eric Schmidt not one week ago.
This device is set to work with Google’s next-generation Android software and will be bringing on its own unique set of sensors, customizability, and camera abilities as well. You’ll find this smartphone delivered in black, white, and a variety of colors in-between – it’ll all be up to the user in the end. You’ll want to have a peek at SlashGear’s own Moto X and the details you need for an ideal launch as well as the exploratory article Moto X and the colorful customization of Motorola, a Google company.
“Come experience the new Motorola. No Stage. No Crowds.”
Have a peek at our Moto X tag portal for more information on this smartphone as we edge closer to the big day, and make sure you stick around for the July 24th Google event as well. It’s there that we’ll likely see Android 4.3, complete with the red carpet rolled out for Motorola soon thereafter.

Today an invitation to a special Google event has been sent to the press promising a breakfast with Android head Sundar Pichai. Though this Googler is in charge of Chrome as a web browser and as an operating system as well, it’s far more likely that this July 24th event will center on Android itself, especially considering the several appearances of Android’s next-generation features in teasers for the Motorola-made smartphone Moto X.
Google does own Motorola now, and the time between here and the release of the Moto X grows short, but it is more likely that Google would create a side-event like this to prepare the world for the software side of things before the smartphone is unveiled in full. Motorola’s hero phone will carry Google’s next edition of Android right out of the box, so to speak, but it’s just as important for the company to identify the software’s features for the rest of the Android-toting device universe.
Now that Google works with the Nexus 4, HTC One Google Play edition, and Samsung Galaxy S 4 Google Play edition, this event will likely show software advances on this three-device range. They’ve also got two tablets with Nexus branding as well, of course.
Recent rumblings about a reboot for the Google Nexus 7 are also a part of the list of possibilities for this event. If a new version of Android is in the mix, what better way to usher it in than with another new device?
Stay tuned – SlashGear will be eating hearty while we report the whole events’ dealings on July 24th. The event starts a 9AM PST and we’ll ready to roll, Open Mics ready!

Google’s always cooking something up, and the company has our undivided attention when the press gets invited over for a breakfast featuring Sundar Pichai, the man in charge of Chrome and Android. While the invite doesn’t indicate anything specific, we’re expecting to hear some sort of announcement next Wednesday. We’d love to get some more details on the elusive Android 4.3 or perhaps a new Nexus 7 (heck, a new Nexus anything would be just fine with us), but we’ll just have to wait and see what Sundar has in store.

As if the announcement and launch of Facebook Home wasn’t enough, Facebook has yet another event in the pipeline for next week that looks to unveil “a new product” that supposedly comes from “a big idea.” The event is scheduled to take place on June 20 at Facebook’s headquarters in Menlo Park, CA. The invitation,

In case you’re interested, June 20th is a Thursday. It’s more than that to Facebook, though: apparently that is the day the social network will show off a new product, or as the company puts it, a “big idea” coming from a small team. As to what this particular event — to be held in Menlo Park — could bring to the table, you now know exactly as much as we do; with recent talk regarding Facebook’s interest in building an RSS reader, that rumor would certainly be a good stab in the dark. What’s even more odd, however, is the method by which the press is receiving the invitation: the good old-fashioned postal service. Let us know in the comments if you have any particular theories on what it could all mean.

Shortly after we heard rumors about a possible Tumblr buyout from Yahoo this morning, the company has announced that they will be holding a press event on Monday where they are said to be announcing “something special” It doesn’t look to be anything minor either, as company CEO Marissa Mayer is expected to make an appearance and speak.
According to a tweet by CNBC, the event will be held in New York City and will be “product-related”, which hints to the possibility that the company simply isn’t planning a shindig at their headquarters, but rather are setting up a venue to announce something fairly big. The company also plans to live stream the event to those not able to be in attendance.
Details are still scarce at this point, and we’re not 100% sure as to what the company has up its sleeve, but we wouldn’t be too surprised if it involved Tumblr in some capacity. It’s rumored that Yahoo wants to acquire Tumblr for around $1 billion in order to cater towards the younger, hip crowd. It would certainly be Yahoo’s biggest buy yet, and the company has been all about acquiring younger startups as of late.
Just recently, the company acquired several smaller firms, including popular to-do list Astrid, but have ended up shutting most of them down and acquiring the employees, suggesting that Yahoo wants to expand and improve on its various services and offerings. Whatever the case may be come Monday, let’s hope that Yahoo has something worthwhile planned to unveil.
