Another one bites the dust. And another one gone, and another one gone. Another one bites the dust. We are counting down the days left in December, as January and 2014 are quickly creeping up on us. This week was filled with news, the biggest being that Motorola finally launched a wood back for the Moto X. Sure, it’s only Bamboo for now, but we have our fingers crossed that additional “Natural” backs will come soon.
Beyond Moto, we got our hands on the new BLU Pure Life smartphone, got through an Android Accessory Roundup (some good holiday gift ideas in there), took your guesses at what T-Mobile could do with the UnCarrier 4.0 initiative, and got a chuckle out of the latest Galaxy S5 with iris scanner rumor. All in all, it was a pretty great week.
