So buy the ticket and take the ride. Let’s explore the “best of the rest” for this week of January 30th, 2012.

As myriad legal tussles roll on between smartphone manufacturers, Apple’s suffered a knock-back by the International Trade Commission. Apple first lodged its complaint against Moto in October 2010, accusing its Droid family of violating the patents found in its own phones. This was countered by a volley of patent violation complaints from Motorola. Granted, this is still a preliminary ruling, but looks like Motorola may have won this round of legal drudgery.

ITC preliminary ruling says Motorola’s Droid series doesn’t violate Apple patents originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:03:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

The folks over at TechnoBuffalo have just come across a rather interesting specimen — it’s a dummy unit of the forthcoming Droid 4 from Motorola. While its rumored release date has come and gone, non-functional models such as this are commonly offered to consumers in a retail setting to poke and prod to their heart’s content. Nonetheless, the hands-on offers a few interesting details, such as a soft touch backside and insight into the redesigned keyboard, which is described as “the best one yet on a Droid handset.” Whether we agree with that assertion will be determined come review time, but if you’re interested to see the collection of up-close and personal shots with Moto’s latest slider, be sure to check the source below.

Motorola is taking another shot at the tablet game with the Droid Xyboard, the company’s latest Android device to hit Verizon stores. After getting our hands on one this afternoon, we found that it’s a solid, well-performing slate that’s easy on the eyes. Too bad it has such a stupid name.
