Motorola intros Droid Bionic

With the release of the Bionic, Motorola is helping usher in a new era of smartphones, the dual-core era. The Bionic boasts a 1GHz dual-core processor, 4.3 inch screen, 512 MB of RAM, and 8 MP rear camera and a front-facing one as well, plus will run on Verizon's shiny new LTE network. No word on pricing or release date yet, but we'd expect it to launch soon for around $199 with a two-year contract. Motorola's already got an information site set up, we'll stay tuned and let you know when they let the release date out of the bag. Until then feel free to ooh and aw here.
