Rumours of a shiny new Android-powered Motorola have been doing the rounds for a while now. Unfortunately the rumour-mill has stepped up a gear thanks to the release of a YouTube video by a supposed Motorola employee/connection, Christyan Yury. Impressive specs not withstanding (800x480 touchscreen, 16GB memory, 5 megapixel camera and of course running Android), while a Moto handset like this would be more than welcome, this latest video just has fake written all over it.
The video itself is nothing new – a slideshow of images that we've all seen before (I first saw them on engadget) – all of which is copyright Motorola "Eletronics". Despite all this Yury remains adamant of his connections with Motorola and the authenticity of the phone. Let's face it, if Motorola really was working on what would essentially be their most important release in ages, would they go about leaking it in this way? No doubt with hindsight, once Motorola eventually do release their first Android handset, whatever that may actually be, we'll all look back at this and say "of course, we always knew the TouchZine HD was real/fake".
