-You soon will be able to build your own smartphone.
I'm Bridget Carey and this is your CNET Update.
Motorola is finally opening up about the rumored Moto X smartphone.
It's the first phone produced since Google acquire the company.
We have no photos, but there is a teaser page online that says the Moto X is the first phone you can build yourself.
The page to sign up for more information also says,
"Today, you should have the freedom to design the things in your life to be as unique as you are." It is also said to be the first smartphone designed, engineered and assembled in America.
But there's another Motorola phone that I've got in unintended early tease, the Droid Ultra.
An incomplete page was temporarily published live on Motorola's website about a smartphone called the Droid Ultra.
And while it was up, it said the Droid Ultra would be thin and as tough as steel.
It also said it would be available in a bunch of glossy colors
with a DuPont Kevlar body.
Since it's called the Droid Ultra, you can figure it's gonna be sold by Verizon, which sells phones with the Droid branding.
The page that it was published to announce as redirects to the homepage, so we'll have to wait to learn more.
Get ready for a new rush of internet domain names.
New York City is now the first place in the US to get its own top level domain with .NYC.
Businesses can apply and their website urls with .NYC.
Of course, .com will always be king.
But it's just another option now
for business owners who want something more unique than .biz.
Expect more unique url domains from brands to rollout later this year.
Facebook stickers can now be sent in private messages to other users from the website.
Facebook first launch these goofy sticker expressions in April on Facebook smartphone apps.
