Google’s Motorola-related July 11 event throws up more Moto X talk

So have you seen the Moto X ad yet? Two people jumping off into a lake - one with his arms and legs spread-eagled and the other stretched vertically. Does it look like an X I to you? For the uninitiated, that’s 11 in Roman numerals. And now there’s word that Google is holding an event on July 11 for a very select group of journalists. You see where we are going with this…

Leo Laporte, a tech industry veteran, revealed that he had received a personal invitation from Guy Kawasaki, Motorola and Google adviser, for the event, which will be held on July 10 and 11 for two hand-picked groups of journalists and industry insiders. With Google launching the promotions for Moto X this week, it’s only natural that anything from Motorola from this point onwards will be attached to the Moto X project. But since Kawasaki was tightlipped about other details of the event, it’s still anybody’s guess as to what Google and Motorola have planned.
