Motorola has officially announced the DROID X in partnership with Verizon, Google and Adobe. The phone will ship on July 15 and cost $199.99 with a two year data plan.

Like the recently launched EVO 4G, Droid X features a 4.3" display that is considerably larger than iPhone 4's 3.5" display. However, despite its larger size, the Droid X display features 854 x 480 pixels resolution, as compared to iPhone 4's 960 x 640 pixels. In other words, Droid X's pixel density falls well short of Apple's Retina Display.

Droid X features an 8 megapixel camera with twin LED flash. You can capture 720p HD video and share it with friends using an optional HDMI cable or Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) connectivity.

DROID X utilizes high performance diversity antennas along with innovative software to improve signal strength and reduce dropped calls.

It can function as a 3G mobile hotspot allowing you to share your 3G data connection with upto five other Wi-Fi enabled devices. However, the add on option comes at a cost - $20 per month.

A new version of Motorola Blur serves as the interface, and is reported to be a distinct improvement over the earlier version.

Data entry defaults to Swype, which allows you to type without lifting your finger, but there is a multi-touch keyboard like in the iPAD.

DROID X users will receive Android 2.2 and Adobe Flash Player via an over-the-air upgrade late summer.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
