Motorola Droid Ultra leaks again, this time with a red, textured finish

Motorola Droid Ultra leaks again, this time with a red, textured finish

A better look at Motorola’s next Droid, the Ultra, has surfaced thanks to serial phone-revealer @evleaks. This time we’re getting a clearer view of the back, decked in some familiar Verizon hues. Alongside some good hints that it’ll house a high-capacity battery like the RAZR Maxx series, we’d hazard a guess that there’s a kevlar finish to that red weave pattern, although we’ll probably have to wait for that incoming Motorola event before we’re able to clarify that. Fortunate, then, that it will all kick off with Verizon in just a few days.

LeapFrog LeapPad Ultra shows off its insides at the FCC

If you’ve got kids, or just like pretending you still are one on weekends, then you’re probably familiar with LeapFrog’s infant-friendly LeapPad. We might suggest that you hold off buying one for the next few weeks, thanks to a listing for a LeapPad Ultra that meandered through the FCC today. Given that the LeapPad 2 hit stores last August, we’ll expect to learn a lot more about this unit over the next couple of weeks. That said, if you can’t wait, or are just curious about what lurks beneath its green plastic shell, check out the teardown gallery below.
