So…This is huge. Looks like we’ve finally got what appears to be a concrete release date for the Droid Bionic by Motorola. Even crazier than having it though, is the date itself – August 4th. While everyone was basically expecting this phone some time this summer, late August was the general consensus.

Furthermore, the Bionic was delayed, delayed, and delayed some more, leaving us all half-expecting it to not be out until fall. With a normal phone delayed this much, we’d be a little wary of the specs, as all too often a phone’s release will be pushed back due to contract negotiations or some other business function, and the phone won’t be updated in the meantime. Then, when the phone releases, its specs are already out of date. The Bionic though, appears to be a different story. Supposedly, the Bionic was delayed when the iPhone 4 came out, in order to be able to better compete with what Motorola felt will be the Bionic’s competition, which we hope Moto knows is the iPhone 5.

Looks like XDA China has gotten their paws on a Droid 3 early…And the reviews aren’t as good we hoped. While the processor performed well, and the new version of Motoblur is definitely a go, it looks like Motorola skimped in a couple of all too important areas.

First, the screen. Motorola has apparently outfitted the Droid 3 (or Milestone 3, depending on what country you live in) with a Pentile screen. This same screen has gotten negative reviews across the board, as you can basically see pixels (not actual pixels, but that’s how it appears) once you zoom in at all to something like, say, a website. Video is also particularly bad on these. An even bigger deal though, and frankly an extreme disappointment, is the internal spec that’s lacking.

As should be pretty obvious at this point, we’re always on the lookout for the next “big thing” in the mobile space. When the original Droid came out, it was definitely a “big thing,” and now we’re seeing some more details on the Droid 3, or the next phone in that hallowed line of Droids by Motorola. We told you about some of these specs before, but its definitely nice to see an actual device, as well as get some more info on it.

What is supposedly an actual Motorola Droid 3 has been leaked in the wild, and it appears to be quite the super phone. (While we’ve got official word on these guys, remember that so far this is a rumor, but seems to be a pretty reliable on at this point.) Sporting a 4″ (noticeably bigger than the Droid and Droid 2′s 3.7″) qHD screen, giving it not only great screen real estate with good resolution, but also the ability to have a bigger, keyboard with more keys and more space. And its been put to good use, with the Droid 3 keyboard having a dedicated number row at the top.

So we basically got a blizzard of phone release date announcements in the past week, and surprise, surprise, they’ll all be up for sale at Verizon Wireless stores nation wide at the same time next week. While we knew these phones were coming some time this spring or summer, none had official release dates until now, and we certainly didn’t expect them to release those dates so near to the actual day the phones will be up for sale.

Guess Verizon and company aren’t trying to hype these phones up too much, which makes me wonder, what’s coming that they’re waiting for? Regardless, read on for the phones that were released and a little about each to help you decide on your next phone!

Motorola has released a new version of its Media Link Software, and its actually surprisingly nice.  Media Link, with its iTunes-like interface, serves basically the same purposes as Apple’s iTunes does for Apple devices, but for your Motorola ones, including the Droid, Droid 2, Devour and Backflip.  Just plug in your device and the software takes care of the rest.

With photo, video, and music syncing, Media Link takes care of all the media you want on your device, and helps you to organize it.  It even includes the ability create custom ringtones, and while iTunes does this as well, it does have iTunes beat on one cool feature. Media Link allows you to crop and edit photos right in the application, making it perfect for quick improvements to those mobile photos.

Media Link is available now for Motorola smart phones at the link beloew, but unfortunately is currently Windows only, meaning Mac users are still left wanting.

Do you know of some good syncing software for Macs?  Let us know below!
