Official specs for Motorola’s Razr Maxx are that it’s using a 3,300mAH battery.  That translates to a seemingly endless 19 hour and 47 minute battery life.  Now if only the other manufacturers could follow their lead, the days of having to charge smartphones 2-3 times a day could be a thing of the past.

Intel showed off their new Smartphone Reference Design using the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and the result are looking very impressive indeed!

Using “only” a single-core CPU, the ATOM Z2460 at 1.6 Ghz, and an Intel Graphics Accelerator GPU, Intel has managed to create a phone with an outstanding performance, capable to run the most demanding 3D games with an amazing power efficiency that allowed this phone to be on stand-by for 14 days or let you hear music for 45 hours. If you don’t believe it, you have too see the following video.

The benchmarks that Intel has made available also show that this phone is even able to blow away the competition.

This is a Reference Smartphone which means that Intel is not going to release a phone but are presenting to brands a complete hardware and software ready solution to their upcoming phones. They have already announced partnerships with Motorola and Lenovo so we might expect some news in a not so distant future. We must admit that this can be revolutionary and bring a great competition to the Android Smartphone Market.

Those of you waiting in anticipation of Motorola’s latest droid will have to wait a little bit longer.  Reports have surfaced that the device launch has been pushed back to February 2, 2012.

This is based on a  leaked image from VZBuzz.  It doesn’t go into any detail as to the cause of the delay, but either way it’s disappointing for fans who were hoping to score one before the Holidays.

It looks like the developer community is started to get Android’s newest OS working on other Android devices before their initial release.  Check out this video of ICS running on the Motorola Droid Razr.

Although really just a proof of concept at this point.  It doesn’t really function fully as one would expect, but the fact that it’s working at all is impressive.  The developer responsible, DroidTh3ory,  doesn’t go into much detail as to what feature are supported yet but it’s a great start for sure.
