Motorola and Verizon Wireless unveiled the new Droid X on Wednesday. The device arrives on July 15, and Verizon also previewed a number of accessories for the device, from vehicle mounts (left) and charging cradles to snap-on covers and NFL skins.

The vehicle mount will set you back $39.99. The dock triggers a dashboard app, which includes navigation, music, voice search, Internet radio, and more. The app allows for three-foot reach and hands-free activity. A simpler combination vent and dash mount, meanwhile, will be available for $19.99, as will a window/dash mount.

The Droid X includes HDMI connectivity, and a six-foot HDMI cable will set you back $24.99. To store your content, a Sandisk 32GB card will be available bundled with the Droid X for $99.99, saving you about $50.

Executive Editor, News

My Experience

I started out covering tech policy in DC for The National Journal, where my beat included state-level tech news and all the congressional hearings and FCC meetings I could handle. I later covered Wall Street trading tech before switching gears to consumer tech. I now lead PCMag's news coverage.

My Areas of Expertise

Getting my start in DC means I still have a soft spot for tech policy; Congressional hearings can sometimes be as entertaining as a Bravo reality show, for better or worse. But PCMag is all about the technology we use every day, as well as keeping an eye out for the trends that will shape the industry in the years ahead (or flop on arrival). I've covered the rise of social media, the iOS vs. Android wars, the cord-cutting revolution that's now left us with hefty streaming bills, and the effort to stuff artificial intelligence into every product you could imagine. This job has taken me to CES in Vegas (one too many times), IFA in Berlin, and MWC in Barcelona. I also drove a Tesla 1,000 miles out west as part of our Best Mobile Networks project. Of late, my focus is on our hard-working team of reporters at PCMag, guiding and editing their robust coverage.
